This project is designed for high school Physical Science classes but can be amended for other grades. It is a hands-on project that students do primarily at home and bring to school to present. The project will introduce the students to Rube Goldberg and his crazy contraptions along with learning about simple and compound machines, mechanical advantage, the design process and lots of problem solving. This file includes lesson plans, teacher notes and a student project booklet. The booklet includes some research questions about Rube Goldberg and machines, instructions, design page, and word puzzles. Great STEM project!
