Marshmallow Slingshot

Explore potential and kinetic energy by making your own marshmallow slingshot. Increase the potential energy, or stored energy, of the rubber band in your slingshot by pulling the plunger back. When you release the plunger, the potential energy transfers to kinetic energy, or the energy of motion, to launch  your marshmallow across the room! Can you think of other examples of potential and kinetic energy?
