Gather your team and brainstorm ideas. Once you have made a decision on what toy you will be building, make a copy of this document. You will work on it as you proceed through the unit.

​

Once you have finished all the tasks in your document, you may begin building your toy. Collect all the materials you need, and remember that if you are using any substitution it must be indicated in your work.

​

Create a presentation/advertisement for your toy that includes:

​

• the name of the toy

• the resources and raw materials used for each part of the real toy

• the ecosystems where those resources and raw materials come from

• how those resources will be extracted, harvested, and transported to the factory where the toy is made

• how the making of this toy might affect natural systems

• how the user of this toy can recycle the toy, or parts of the toy, when done using it

• substitutions made in materials (from prototype to actual toy)
