Fifth Graders in Mrs. Pam Smith’s Science classes recently put their problem-solving skills to work as they developed their very own Rube Goldberg Machines. Students developed these machines as a culmination to their Physics unit in Science.
The project assignment included creating a machine that contained at least 3 simple machines and accomplished a named task. Students were required to explain how the machine worked using the 3 Laws of Motion and physics vocabulary. The students showed a great deal of perseverance as they worked on these machines. The great test came as they showed off their machines to other classes in the building.
