Over the past weeks, in groups LS1 had to make a Rube Goldberg Machine. We used the 6 simple machines, wheel and axle, Lever, Pulley , Inclined Plane, Screw and Wedge had to be included in the machines. The challenges were tipping dice out of a cup, hitting a putter, and onning a chromebook. Our scenario was onning a chromebook.
On the last week our group had managed to get the machine finished. We used 4 different types of simple machine, a wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane and a lever. For the wheel and axle we used a toycar. For the pulley we applied a string from a yo-yo to a window latch. For the inclined plane we had a marble roll down a ramp. We used dominos as the lever.
The most challenging task was creating the machines and trying to apply the 6 simple machines and communicating with our group to know what is going on and how we could help. I'd change the amount of seletape used in our machine.
