Rube Goldberg

What do you get when you combine lots of trash/recyclables, a buzzer, and small groups? Chaos, noise, and a Rube Goldberg machine that worked... well, sort of!

For two weeks, the class reviewed simple machines and did Rube Goldberg practice challenges.





 

Then it was time to get into small groups and put together a class machine. Boxes, ramps, balls, marbles, lots of tape, marble works… the room was a complete disaster! But great ideas and wonderful teamwork made for a fun two days!
