Rolling Toy

This document provides instructions for making a rolling toy using a plastic container, rubber band, and barbecue sticks. The rubber band is twisted and inserted through holes in the container and its cover. When released, the toy rolls across the floor as the twisted rubber band returns to its original shape, transforming the stored potential energy into kinetic energy of motion.
