Izzy loves to invent and build things out of recycled materials. With her grandfather and bird Fixer, she builds inventions, though they don't always work. Izzy needs a handy tool she can carry anywhere, so students will help her build a multi-tool out of items like popsicle sticks, scissors, and dowels that fits in her pocket and features multiple tools with demonstrations on how to use it. The activity reinforces using everyday tools and defines a simple design problem.

HER GRANDPA BUILDS WITH HER LOVES TO INVENT NEW THINGS BUILDS THINGS WITH BROKEN, OLD, OR TRHOWN AWAY MATERIALS INVENTIONS DON'T ALWAYS WORK WON THE GENUIS GUILD BADGE HELP IZZY! IZZY NEEDS SOMETHING HANDY- DANDY THAT SHE CAN CARRY WITH HER EVERYWHERE SHE GOES. HELP IZZY BUILD SOME SORT OF MULTI- TOOL. YOU CAN USE POPSICLE STICKS, SCISSORS, A CANARY CUTTER, QUICK CUTTER, DOWELS, RECYCLABLES, MARKERS, RULERS, HOT GLUE AND PENCILS! LET'S USE OUR TOOL! 1. CAN YOUR TOOL FIT IN YOUR POCKET? 2. WHAT TOOLS DOES YOUR MULTI-TOOL FEATURE? 3. CAN YOU GIVE A DEMONSTRATION ON HOW TO USE YOUR TOOL? TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS DIRECTIONS: STUDENTS WILL BE INTRODUCED TO BASIC TOOLS BASED ON IMAGE CLIPS AND THEN TASKED WITH CREATING THEIR OWN TOOLS IN A COMPACT VERSION IN ORDER TO REINFORCE THE IDEA OF USING EVERY DAY TOOLS. BIG IDEA (FOURTH GRADE): 4-ETS1-1 DEFINE A SIMPLE DESIGN PROBLEM REFLECTING A NEED OR A WANT THAT INCLUDES SPECIFIED CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS AND CONSTRAINTS ON MATERIALS, TIME, OR COST. MATERIALS WITH ASSISTANCE: QUICK CUTTER, CANARY CUTTER, HOT GLUE GUN MOVING FORWARD: STUDENTS WILL UTILIZE TOOLS TO CREATE A LARGER, MORE COMPLEX BUILDING (HAMMERS, NAILS, SCREWS, DRILL, WOOD, ETC) TO BETTER ORGANIZE STUDENT MATERIALS AND BELONGINGS
