We are learning about energy and energy transfer through collisions. While our classroom did a series of experiments to knock pennies into a bin, we also watched a series of Rube Goldberg Machine videos.
Here are some of the videos:
- Honda “The Cog”– on YouTube
- A documentary on what it took to create “The Cog”
- Sprice Machines- 75 devices (mostly toys) to pull a piece of tape off of a dispenser.
- Target “Fresh Machine” TV ad.
- 3M’s “Machine” using products that they manufacture.
- ESPN “Sports Nation”
