choking hazards.

Materials& methods

• Legos heads - .10c• A simulated throat - $10 • A stand - 0 $ • A oxygen tank - $100• Bendable tubes - $30 • Wind speed testThis will all cost about 150 dollars.

methods

• Drill hole in center of Lego.• Put Lego in simulated throat.• Connect oxygen tank to throat.• Anemometer at the end of tube of simulated

throat.

Results

• That Legos are dangerous.• A choking problem happens 13 times a minute

In this project the social problem I am working on a kind of toy that parents can be relaxed, I am making a Lego toy that has holes in it. This problem is important because I think choking on Legos is a real problem. This problem is important because child safety is most important to parents. I plan to solve this problem by making Legos with holes so kids don’t choke here are the links
