I love webquests. They are so much more effective at engaging the students than books these days. Thanks for the reviews!

Great activity! Hope to see more activities from you and use them next year as I teach middle school science and find that computer activities are great teaching tools.

I just usually make them take notes. This will be a nice change and makes them focus on the video a little bit more.

Thanks for the review! I do like to give the students just a few questions to help them stay focused.

It seemed a little lacking. I was hoping to get something more than what I create on my own.

Good simple explanations of characteristics....would have liked it if some of the pics were not over some of the words.

nicole schonhoff (TpT Seller)
The formating errors may be a result of different Microsoft Office programs. Sometimes the 2010 and the 2007 (I think that's the year), don't always match up when a document is passed between them. Sorry that the pictures were covering the words. I will check my copy and alter it if necessary. Thanks for the review!

LOVE IT! Doing this next week with my middle schoolers. Do you give any other requirements or other intro sheets that you give with the rubric or is it only this?
January 3, 2013
nicole schonhoff (TpT Seller)
I explain the project verbally and then just give them the rubric. I let them be as creative as they want as long as they have everything on the rubric. I'm glad you like it! I'm sure your your students will too! Thanks for the review.

I liked this rubric, but I do wish there was a porject page that I could have used to hand out with it. I ended up making one of my own with guidelines and expectations. My kids really enjoyed this project though! Great idea!

nicole schonhoff (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the feedback! When I get to fungi in my class, I'll take a look over this project and perhaps add to it as well. I'm glad your students enjoyed it! Mine get really into it as well.

I can't seem to get a preview of your project. Can you help?
Thanks, Mindy

Hi Mindy,
Sorry for not getting back to you immediately. I think I may have fixed it and there is a preview of the first page. However, the format looks all messed up on the preview. The downloaded page would not look like that.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, Nicole

Hi Nicole-
Are there guidelines for how to build a Rube Goldberg machine?
Thanks! Beth :-)

nicole schonhoff (TpT Seller)
Hi Beth,
Yes, there are guidelines for the project. The 2 page project includes all the directions, including guidelines for building the project. For example, they are limited to a 2x2 feet surface to build their machine on. I have plywood cut out that I let them use for a base to their project. They also need to have a certain number of simple machines included. I show them the game "Mouse Trap" as an example of a Rube Goldberg machine and I also show them a clip on youtube of a Mythbuster's special on Rube Goldberg machines. This gives the students an idea on what the machine must do (a simple task in a complicated way). I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions!
