A Rube Goldberg machine is an overly complicated machine that does one action. It involves a simple machine and a simple machine is a machine that makes a certain action easier to do such as a screw that can hold things together or maybe an inclined plane that is a ramp that helps push things up easier. 

I had to search some internet links to try to find things that I could potentially use in the machine. I used some links that my teacher gave me to help me make simple machines out of materials like making a pulley out of a water bottle. I had to find lots of materials around my house. 

In the beginning, we had to create a sketch of our first version of the Rube Goldberg machine with each step and each simple machine. We needed three simple machines and eight steps to meet the expectations. I tried to figure out what machines I should use for the best and optimal machines for my sketch. I used an inclined plane, a pulley, a screw, and a lever but I realized that the lever would not be very useful so I removed it. The process was really tough and I had to work very hard, I still need to work hard to finish my project. We were then supposed to create 2 blog posts for each period and one wevideo to sum up everything we had done.

The Rube Goldberg project seems very good so far up to this point. I think that this might be the best project in school so far. I hope I finish the project with a great Rube Goldberg machine.
