Rube Goldberg Project – Day 1!

Tuesday, June 2nd

Dear Division 8,

Today I have an exciting project for you…I’m going to introduce Rube Goldberg!

The video below was inspired by the engineer, cartoonist and creator Rube Goldberg.  He began working as an engineer and began to draw ridiculous inventions (things that can be used to do something else).  He never actually build the machines he drew, but his drawings sure did inspire many others to create away and they all were build to solve a simple problem or do a simple thing!

Here is your mission:

Get ready:

  1. Watch the video below to be inspired:

2. Next, come up with a simple problem that you’re trying to solve.  For example,

  • open a door
  • ring a bell
  • fire a nerf dart?
  • stir a spoon

3. Gather the supplies that you need.  See the list:

 

3.  Draw a picture of what your project might look like! If you need more inspiration check this out:

In the comments section below, please write what simple problem you are trying to solve in your project. We will talk more about this in our small group zoom meetings.

Once you figured out your simple problem, gathered your supplies and draw your picture of your project.  We are going to work on this project over TWO days! After you’ve drawn your picture – it’s break time!

Let’s dance!

Have fun and stay healthy and don’t forget to write the simple problem down in the comments section! When you’re done here, head over to Microsoft Teams for your Math challenge!

Love,

Ms. Binng
