Rube Goldberg Machine
Engage your students in hands-on, exciting science!A great way to develop an understanding of forces and engineering principles is to make a Rube Goldberg machine. In the 20th century, American cartoonist and inventor, Rube Goldberg, inspired the world by designing intentionally complicated machines that performed simple tasks. Using everyday materials, students will design and construct a complex machine that does a very simple job.For example, students in the past have designed and constructed
