2. Have a great idea for an invention The problem the Lampanator 3,000 solves is I have to read at night and my parents say that my brother and my sister have to do there homework and sleep. The Lampanator 3,000 helps because some miners need it since when they mine it might be dark and the Lampanator 3,000 makes very bright light. The Lampanator 3,000 helps when there is usually no light, also it is kind of like a flashlight but a lot bigger. If you want to read at night instead of turning the light on and off, the Lampanator 3,000 is much quieter and easier to find since there are bright letters on the sides.

3. Investigate inventions and ideas of the past I investigated Charles Goodyear. He invented rubber things like rubber suits and soccer balls. He found out that by using sap they could create rubber. He mixed things together to create rubber. Rubber was very good about keeping things from getting wet. Once he ran out of money and went to prison. He was in debt.

4. Draw pictures and diagrams to show your invention and how it might work.

5. The materials I used were a light bulb, a box, yarn, wires, napkins, scissors, and markers. 1.Connect the wires and the batteries together 2. Then you need a metal box to keep the wires and batteries inside. 3.Then you need bright colored stickers for the bright letters.

6. Testing I tested my invention by making sure everything was in place. Also I made sure I used the right materials.

7. Keep improving your invention. I can improve my invention by making it a little smaller and adding a handle. I also could make it lighter so people can carry it easily and it won’t be so heavy.

8. Market your invention to people who might buy it. Here is my ad.
