BOUNCING BUZZ

Principle	Gravity in Space
Age Group	6 and up
Description	Bouncing Buzz is a toy astronaut that imitates a person walking in space. He is approximately 6 inches and weighs ½ a pound.
Mechanics	When the child pushes down on Buzz’s head, it will compress the spring inside him. When the spring decompresses, Buzz will slowly pop into the air, gears will make his legs move forward and back, and in his backpack will be a parachute type mechanism that will enable him to land slowly and upright.
Cost and Durability	Bouncing Buzz will be made out of hard plastic and the inside gears and spring systems are slightly more intricate than that of the tinker toys. The parachute backpack will be the most intricate mechanism on the toy but will not affect the total cost dramatically. With these factors into consideration, Bouncing Buzz will cost around 10 dollars.
