Rube Goldberg simple machine project
This is a 2 page description/procedure/rubric for a Rube Goldberg project. I gave my class 2 full weeks to work on this. They are provided with minimal materials, the rest is gathered from home (recyclable materials, toys, etc..). A PowerPoint presenation accompanies the Rube Goldberg machine. My students LOVED doing this and they learned a lot about simple machines as well.

Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems
The Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems has questions and diagrams to really help students break down and understand the meaning of this law of interaction. In the first part, students look at simple examples to describe the action reaction force. Then, they identify the magnitude and direction of the reaction force given the magnitude and direction of the action force. Lastly, they look at several examples including a spring scale, air balloon, and car collision example to explain
