1 Draw / List / Describe / Mind Map Details of a Mythic + Powerful Creature:

2 CREATIVE CREATURES: Glowing Solar Powered Plastic Fantastics Light up circuits + play with materials creating creatures or simply creations Your Creature Can Be Anything, Maybe It s: * an enclosure or other shape * mobile * not even alive (psst - everything is alive) * a character in mythic stories, your own or of cultural invention, with journeys, conflicts + resolutions * planned out 1 st sketch, write, describe or * done without a plan see what happens if you start exploring materials + making v Bits: + Solar energy powers your creation + The more sun or light, the more colorful and quickly your creation s lights will change colors + Plankton make nutrients + oxygen from the power of the sun, from photosynthesis + Half of the world s oxygen is produced by ocean phytoplankton (plant plankton) + Plastics come from chemically processing oil, coal, natural gas + more (but are mostly made from oil) + Marine creatures are downstream of our waste streams. As plastics break into smaller pieces, marine life mistake the plastic bits for plankton + Plastics are persistent. As they disintegrate, they cycle through us + our ecologies never biodegrading just breaking into smaller pieces. As plastics go through us, they disrupt our hormonal systems. Molecularly plastics bits are endocrine disruptors, acting as keys within our cells, turning on + off bodily systems that evolved to function over millions of years. + Plastics cannot be recycled, only down-cycled + Plastics are wonderfully useful + beautiful + Right now there are no independent standards for biodegradable plastics, if properly designed, they will be much better. Many are not biodegradable

3 CREATIVE CREATURES: Tools + Materials: Short scissors, hole punch, drill, rivet gun, cool hot glue, zip ties, fishing line, string, tape, knives, saw, drill, shears, sharpies, tape solar cells, LEDs, resistors, hookup wire, copper foil Plastics: milk jugs, soda bottles, bottle caps, trays from crackers etc., yogurt containers, soap and detergent bottles, bubble wrap, plastic wrap, plastic bags, mesh bags (frequently used for onions) styrofoam packaging such as to go clam shells, or larger packaging, toys, anything else plastic! Toothbrushes, CDs, DVDs, k cups, the rings from bottle caps! Look Out! * Power tools + knives used by skilled users only, unless under direct supervision of a skilled teacher. * Wire breaks when bent too many times beware of delicate spots: LEDs, wires, solder points * Enjoy your creation at night by placing it near incandescent bulbs, but not too close to a bulb! This will generate too much energy for the design of the circuit + can blow out your LEDs. Credits + Resources: Art Forms in Nature: The Prints of Ernst Haeckel, paperback Plankton images from: A Guide to the Zooplankton of Lake Champlain This STEAM Module is a part of the Summer 2014 series Vermont Makers and Libraries: Spark a Culture of Innovation. Thank you to everyone who has supported + participated in Vermont Makers events! This is for you! Project concept + development by Rebecca Schwarz for you to make, create + find wonder!

4 CREATIVE CREATURES Series Circuit Schematic Red LEDs need the least amount of power, low light =different Draw yours here

5 CREATIVE CREATURES: Other Circuit Schematics + Resistor List * you can also make a series parallel circuit with additional LEDs + resistors * or a circuit with one solar cell Draw yours here: Circuit Schematic + sketching spots

6 CREATIVE CREATURES Find a home for your project + send in a trading card with a picture + description of your creation s mythic powers + / or actions to: rebecca@rebeccasschwarz.com. Sending in the card allows for posting of the images + info to share with others + imagine possibilities. Creation Name: Powers: image(s) or drawings of your creation, where / what / when: Stories, Roles, Relationships: Creator s Name: Why+ Anything Else? Powers: filtering flittering creatures that build from plastic bits, orbiting at high frequency releasing a magical stuff that creates ripples of beauty Sensitive detectors of a broad range of things + phenomena stories, roles, relationships:
