Rube Goldberg Machines

Rube Goldberg               

LI: to apply knowledge of simple machine to create a Rube Goldberg Machine.

We had to make a Rube Goldberg Machine that includes all of the six simple machines. We had to choose one of three things that the Rube Goldberg machine has to accomplish, the things that we had to choose from we're rolling dice out a cup, putting a ball into a and to turn a chrome book on.The thing that we chose was to roll the dice out a cup. 

Our first plan was having an incline plain and a marble hit dominoes, but that plan didn't work because the dominoes kept falling back so we made another plan. Our final plan was books hitting a backwards wedge down an incline plane to hit another person, that person with a scissor and  cut a string that is attached to a felt tip pen, felt tip pen would drop and hit another person, that person will then push me and I will lift a chair from the back to make a car roll down an incline plane to hit the cup and roll the dice. The car got stuck in the tube and the felt tip pen didn't touch the person so it was a challenge. 

L.I:To apply knowledge of simple machines to create a Rube Goldberg machine. Our challenge was to make a simple Rube Goldberg machine using  all the six simple machines.The simple machines we used for our Rube Goldberg machine is a pulley, wedge, incline plane, wheel & axle and a lever.The challenging part is what are we going to make and what we are going to use for our simple machines.The part that I will make different is the pulley part.I want to change and get a better pulley.The material I will use for the pulley is a yo-yo.
