Due February 13th, 2009

Special Delivery Invention

Students will be required to build a device that delivers a message a distance of 20 feet.

Mouse Trap Invention

Students will create an invention that causes a series of events that begins with the setting off of a mousetrap and ends with a balloon popping. There needs to be at least 4 events. Additional events will receive extra credit. These events are like the following - a mouse trap snaps causing a ball to move down a ramp. Then the ball bounces on a teeter totter causing a tack to fly into a balloon and then the balloon pops.

Robot Invention

Students will create a robot that must do at least 2 of the following three things: wave a flag, deliver attendance to the office, or shake hands. This does not have to be an electronic device.

Hanger Invention

Create something useful using hangers.

Bedroom Picker Upper Invention

Students will create a device that helps them clean their room. Students should not have to bend down to pick things up. Students will be given extra credit if a note is written from parents stating they used their invention to clean their bedroom.

Spaghetti Invention

Students will invent a device to eat spaghetti. This device needs to be original and can not already be an invented utensil (can not be a fork, knife or spoon). Creativity is a plus with this invention. Make sure that it is useable because students will be eating spaghetti with their inventions.

Plant Hugger Invention

Students will create a device that is either helpful to plants or is decorative to plants.
