How Can We Create Cool Rube Goldbergs and Teach It To Others? Sam T. and Charlie S.

K

​

• We know that you fail more than you succeed in Rube Goldbergs.
• We know that there are different kinds and they each work in a different way.

L

• I learned how gravity effect the rube goldberg
• I learned how to change ideas as we went along.

W

• We want to know how to make good Rube Goldbergs, to make everyday tasks.
• We want to know the most efficient way to teach them to others.

A

• I will make rub Goldbergs at home 
• I will research how to make better rube goldbergs more
• I will research more physics to make them better.

H

​

• We will gather materials from home.
• We will took for things for the Rube Goldbergs to do

Q

• I want to know what percent of rube goldbergs fail on the first try
• I want to know what factors change the success of the Rube Goldberg.

Sam’s Reflection: This project was very fun and it tested our problem solving skills. I learned how to change my ideas as I went and some science along the way. The funnest part was making the machines. My favorite one was when it went in the cup and it pulled out the tissue. The difficult part was changing plans along the way to fit our machine, and figuring out what is best. Next time I would take more time designing the machines before we start to build them, so that we make sure their are less flaws. That is also the advice I would give others too. I would tell them to plan before to build.

Charlie's reflection: This project was very fun. My favorite thing this round was that it was very active.  I got to excitement and fail then make it better and succeed.  If I did this project again, I would try to make longer rube Goldbergs and a little more complicated because our rube goldbergs were short.  This was very hard because we failed a lot and had to keep making it better until we finally succeeded.  It was also hard to come up with ideas that didn't overlap with our other rube goldbergs.   I learned how to change the ideas without ruining the rube goldberg.  Also, I learned that it is good to plan the whole rube goldberg  out before we start building the whole contraption.  If someone else did rube goldbergs for a project, I would say that they should plan out before hand because there will be less mistakes and more fun!
