Rube Goldberg Lesson Plan
Rube Goldberg Lesson Plan
Description:
Simple and compound machines are used to make tasks easier. On the other hand, Rube Goldberg took a simple, easy task and made it more complex. He created his machines in order to poke fun at other machines
that were made overly complicated and could have been done in a much simpler fashion. In this lesson, students understand the basic ideas of machines and mechanical advantages, and build their own Rube Goldberg-inspired machines.
