Machine Project

Machine Project

What:  Build a Rube Goldberg type “machine” with a minimum of 4 different parts.  At least 3 different simple machines must be identifiable.

When:  To be completed Thursday, February 10 and demonstrated in class.

Groups:  No more than 4 people.  Talk today and decide what materials you need to bring.

The Write-up:
1)            Labeled diagram including metric measurements
2)            Mechanical advantages (probably ideal) for 3 simple machines
3)            Discussion of 3 other Physics principles that are involved in your machine.  Explain them
4)            Write a paragraph describing the challenges and successes you experienced in doing this project.  What would you change?
