Science Project

In Science, we are completing our combined units of Wheels and Levers and Building Things That Move, by designing a complex Rube Goldberg machine.   Students have chosen what task they want their machine to perform.  For example:  clean their rooms, make their lunch, wake them up in the morning.
They are to use all of the simple machines that we have studied in class to create this machine.  It is meant to be complex and impractical!!!
Here's a sample of what I'm looking for.  Also, check out Rube's site at http://www.rubegoldberg.com/ 

 
Check out this site for more examples and even some GREAT videos!
