Ruby gold berg machines

LI: To make a working Rube Goldberg machine with the 6 simple machines.

There are 6 simple machines. They are: Pulley, Screw, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Wheel and Axle and a Lever. We needed to use these 6 simple machines to create our own Rube Goldberg machines to complete one of three scenarios. The three scenarios we had to choose from I were: Tipping dice out of a cup, putting a ball into a cup and turning on a netbook. We needed to try to make a successful working Rube Goldberg machine using as many of the simple machines as we could. Rube Goldberg created machines to complete tasks in simple ways. The task we had to complete was trying to turn on a Chromebook and the materials we used were four wooden shapes, one meter ruler,toy car,  yo yo, container, string, and a cup..the simple machines we used were the pulley, lever, inclined plane, and a wheel and axle.   

Reflection 

Some of the challenges we faced were trying corporate as a group and share ideas because everyone had different ideas and it was hard to keep up with all the different ideas.  Why do you think this failed ? I think our simple machine failed because we didn't have put everything in the right place. Something we could change or did differently to make it work was to use the right materials

LI: To Understand who Rube Goldberg is.

In our group of 6 we had to find out who rube Goldberg is using the 5 Ws and the H. Rube Goldberg was a prize winning cartoonist and made machines that could do tasks and we had to find facts about who he is, when he was born, and what he did for a living, and we had to write down information about all of those kind of things.

We made a machine our of our bodies and and it was based on Rube Goldberg machines. We had to use different movements so that we could open the door with different movements and we had to do it with a blindfold on and try and open the door.
