Current Project Assigned:
Plant Hugger Invention
Students will create a device that is either helpful to plants or is decorative to plants.
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.
Motion And Design Invention
Students will create a device using things they have learned about motion and design and simple machines.
This particular invention is very open ended. Please indicate the use of at
least one of the following terms: inertia, momentum, acceleration,
speed, gravity, friction, balanced forces, work, distance. This devise can not be a car designed like the ones we are creating
in the classroom.
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.
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.
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.
