Now is your opportunity to build your own Rube Goldberg. Below you will find everything that is required to complete this project.
Design Phase
In the design phase you must first lay out a plan for your Rube Goldberg. Each student is responsible for designing at least 2 elements to the machine.
You may bring items (and are encouraged to) from home, and your group will be assigned a locker outside in which to store any items you might use for the project.
Requirements
- Minimum of 8 different steps - Must lay out steps of the chain reaction (similar to the sketch above) - You must follow the engineering design process, detailing every step as instructed
Below you will find the rubric and a sample grading of the cartoon on the top of the page.
Execution Phase
Build and test
Exactly like it sounds!
Build it, test it, and fail a thousand times until you get it right!
