Rube Goldberg Machine - Simple Machines Lesson 8 of 8
This is the culminating activity of the 8 part lesson series on simple machines. Students will put together everything they have learned about each individual simple machine to create a complex chain-reaction machine.
In this lesson students will:
Identify simple machines
Discuss how simple machines make work easier;
Plan and construct a machine that uses each type of simple machine.
Provide and receive feedback through peer critiques
