Rube Goldberg Project A STEM Science Extension
In this project, students create their own Rube Goldberg device. This is a great hands on extension when teaching simple machines and physics topics. Students love to build these. They have to plan, experiment, revise and do it over and over again. This is always a project my students enjoy. Great for gifted and talented or as an extension project.
