In class, we are working on a Rube Golberg machine. I was super excited and very nervous. A Rube Goldberg machine is a complex machine using chain reactions to complete a simple task. I got a lot of inspiration from youtube videos.
My teacher said we needed to have at least 3 simple machines in my Rube Goldberg machine a simple machine is a small machine that makes life easier a lever, pulley, wheel, wedge, and incline plane. My simple machines are a wheel, inclined plane, and pully.
One of the most challenging parts so far of this experience was planning and starting to build. Planning was challenging because I didn’t know what I was going to build and I had to brainstorm. Starting to build was challenging because I didn’t know all the contraptions would go together.
One of the most fun parts of this experience was learning from my mistakes and thinking, ‘Oh now I understand!’
My brother was a big help in finding materials because we have a big house with lots of materials and I am only one person looking for materials but that changed when he helped and found some materials with me
This is one of my inspiration videos

I’m really excited to see how the rest of the project will turn out!
