**Activity: For this week’s lab, you are going to be inventing a new toy! You will have 10 minutes to plan what you might want to build and then 10 minutes to gather supplies from around your house. (Think basement and garage too!) Next you will have 30 minutes to invent a new toy of your own. I would suggest doing this experiment with other members of your family. When your inventions are finished, feel free to send me a picture, I would love to see your inventions!! (cmitchell@stannesgcschool.org)    Have fun!!
