Goldberg Simple Machines

LI: To make a working Rube Goldberg machine with the 6 simple machines.

There are 6 simple machines. They are: Pulley, Screw, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Wheel and Axle and a
Lever. We needed to use these 6 simple machines to create our own Rube Goldberg machines to
complete one of three scenarios. The three scenarios we had to choose from I were: Tipping dice out of
a cup, putting a ball into a cup and turning on a netbook. We needed to try to make a successful working
g Rube Goldberg machine using as many of the simple machines as we could. Rube Goldberg created
machines to complete tasks in simple ways. The task we had to complete was trying to turn on a
chromebook and the materials we used were four wooden shapes, one meter ruler,toy car,  yoyo,
container, string, and a cup..the simple machines we used were the pulley, lever, inclined plane, and
a wheel and axle.   

Reflection 

Some of the challenges we faced were trying corporate as a group and share ideas
because everyone had different ideas and it was hard to keep up with all the different ideas. 
Why do you think this failed ? I think our simple machine failed because we didn't have put everything in
the right place. Something we could change or did differently to make it work was to use the right
materials.

Point of View

I think the reason our simple machine failed was because... Something I think we could change
or do differently is...
