Our group tested the different steps in our Rube Goldberg. After we tested all of the parts separately, we combined some parts and tested them, like the reverse track (1st blog post) and the chain.

Most of the time, the parts we tested worked, but sometimes they didn’t work and we had to find out what was wrong, change it, and test it again. After we finished testing one part, we would move on and start testing the next part. We tested a bunch of parts and had to use makeshift supports too. Some parts are easier than others, and some parts were challenging like the chains and dominoes. Matthew also brought in a paper funnel we needed for our Rube Goldberg. After a lot of testing we thought we had a pretty solid Rube Goldberg. We also tested some Marble Run things for another part of our Rube Goldberg. Then we took some notes on a notepad and started discussing what we would do in our next meeting.
