Making the Rube Goldberg machine was very fun. It let me use creativity and confidence. I needed to be confident in my decisions and creative about what objects I would use. The hardest part overall was deciding what to use. At one point I tried using books that were not very heavy. I decided to use Harry Potter books instead because they were heavy and could play the piano. My project had 8 steps and worked on my 5th try!

While making the Rube Goldberg machine I learned a lot of things depend on weight and size. For example, when I needed to figure out what would make the toy car go down the ramp I needed to decide between one ball or the other. One of them was too light and would not knock the toy car down the ramp! the other ball knocked the toy car down.

Making the video was very hard. I needed to add all my videos, audio, and effects! my video was 2 minutes and 9 seconds long. I added in the text and wrote what I changed and which take it is. I also needed to add my sketch of the machine. The video was really fun to make!

In conclusion, the machine and video were very fun to make. It was hard to make the project and video but it was exciting, fun, and joyful to figure out what works and what does not. I would love to do this again! I give credits for helping and filming to my mom and director credits to me!
