Your teacher can always print off more pages for you to write on.
What if I revise my invention more than once?
Your teacher can make copies of the same page as needed and insert them into the booklet.

5. Questions What should I do with my log after I’m done?
Save the log after you are done. It will help you if you ever make an another invention. You will also need to turn it in at the Invention Convention
