In Mr. Mortimer's class students have been discussing simple machines as well as kinetic and potential energy. To help students tie all these concepts together they created Rube Goldberg projects.
A Rube Goldberg machine is a contraption designed to perform a simple task through a series of chain reactions. One action triggers another action then another and another.
Check out the video posted below. The kids had a great time.
