The Grade 5s will be building pinball machines for a science project that combines our topics of simple machines, energy, and forces & motion! We are collecting the following household items—please feel free to send in anything you can find:
-Toilet paper rolls
-Plastic bottle caps
-Rubber bands
-Popsicle sticks
-Plastic spoons
-Wooden chopsticks
-Clothes pins
-Cardboard (e.g., old cereal or granola boxes)
-Aluminum foil
-Empty egg cartons
-Plasticine (modelling clay)
-Marbles
*We already have pipe cleaners, brass fasteners, coffee stir sticks, and plastic straws in the classroom. We also have pizza boxes for the students to use. If students would like to bring in their own pizza box, they may do so.
