07 > Make the Slingshot Launcher Use one or two layers of masking tape to attach one end of the rubber band to one end of the pencil. The rubber band must be secured to the very end of the pencil to prevent the rocket from colliding with the slingshot. Now you’re ready for blast off!

HOW TO LAUNCH

Hold the slingshot perpendicular to the ground with your thumb against the pencil.

Hold the rocket with your other hand, pinching the end of the rocket between the fins.

Latch the rocket’s paper clip hook onto the rubber band.

Hold the slingshot out in front of you. Draw the rocket back toward yourself to build up the full potential of elastic energy. The rubber band should be perpendicular to the slingshot.

Allow the slingshot to tilt forward as you release the rocket. This will help prevent the rocket from colliding with the slingshot.

Add an extra boost to the launch by flicking the slingshot forward as the rocket is launched.

Aim higher to shoot farther, but keep the relative positions of the rocket, rubber band, and pencil the same.
