Mason had a science project that is pretty much his entire grade for the term. They were tasked with completing a Rube Goldberg machine that lasted 30 seconds. Rube Goldberg machines are a play on the forces of transferring energy. So recognizing where the potential energy can boost the momentum in the machine.
Intro to Rube Goldberg He was teamed up with Jackson and Brenna (friends in the neighborhood) to make this happen. Well, after much travail and a very late night last night, we (Jeff, and I and the kids) finally got a successful run! Rube Goldberg Run And finally the recap of what you saw. Our kids are so eloquent. It is really heart warming ;o}. Final evaluation of the machine!
We thought it would be fun to share the video's with you all just in case you were tasked with something similar.
