Simple Machines kick off and materials request!

We are getting ready to kick off what we hope will be an amazing study of simple machines!  I don't want to give away too much, but we might be building something…..  We are looking for a donation of some supplies and things you may have around the house.  (This might be a good way to get your kids to clean out the junk drawer, game closet, or playroom!)  You may send them in with your child Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Monday.  

Random recyclable items such as:
toilet paper or paper towel tubes, clean plastic containers like frosting containers, nothing glass please!
Random things from your garage such as:
short pieces of pvc pipe, twine, screws, wire, small wood scraps, short pieces of wooden dowel rods, 
Random things from your playroom such as:
old pieces of games (jenga, dominos, dice, pieces that no longer make a set!), pieces of wooden or plastic railroad track, pieces from a marble run track, matchbox cars, ramps from matchbox tracks, small toys, bouncy balls, marbles, wind up toys, hopping toys, etc.
Random household items such as:
film canisters, spools, bells, rubber bands, twine, small pulley system, small dixie cups, duck tape, ping pong balls, tennis balls, tennis ball containers, empty cd cases or even VCR cases, cards from a deck or partial deck of cards, a few balloons (not blown up!),  spoons, magnets



You get the idea!​
