Rube Goldberg assignment


1. I haven't done much in this project except planning and constructing a base to put my contraption on. Due to me having to work at home because of certain components not allowed in school, my project has been drastically delayed.I have it planned to be completely finished at the dead line of the next school day.

2. My project is an automatic fish feeder. The requirements that aren't allowed in school are my fish, a candle, a possible razor blade and an air-soft gun that is used to start the events to feed the fish. So far i have a solid rough draft sketch and a base and some supplies. The construction is delayed due to finding the time in order to cut some wood for the project.

3. i think this project is a great learning experience for the use of simple machines and the early learning of physics. It some how gives the student an understanding of weight distribution, force and ect...

Museum Of Science

  • Audiokinetic Sculpture: It was hard to follow and draw like the work sheet asked but it was fairly creative and cool to watch.
  • bobsled: the bobsleds were fun to make ..kind of.. and it was cool to see what would work and what wouldnt 
  • fantastic forces. the pencil gun was cool but the lady was weird
  • Lightening show: it was cool but not that exciting, clearly made for smaller kids. kind of boring
