Thinking

Artifact: Rube Goldberg machine that cleans golf balls.

In science class, we had to create a Rube Goldberg machine in 2 days. My partner and I had a lot of ideas and we just combined multiple things until something worked. I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others.

Rube Goldberg machine:
– A nerf gun shoots a bullet at the toy car stationed at the top
– The car goes down the ramp and rams the wooden block
– The wooden block falls and hits the golf ball moving it
– The golf ball rolls downwards and hits the weight.
– The weight hits the sponge into the cup of water and the golf ball rolls into the cup.

End result.
