Some inventors make something new. Others find new ways to use an existing invention. Inventor George Washington Carver was famous for finding more than 400 different ways to use peanuts! He used peanuts to make shampoo, glue, rubber, plastics, and much more. Give this a try. How many ways can you use rubber bands? Will one work as an eraser?
