large view J.'s Rube-Goldberg Project

This semester, our two classes studied the artist, Rube Goldberg, and his crazy contraptions for doing the simplest of things!  Using our knowledge of simple machines, we created our own Rube Goldberg devices that did everything from feed the birds, to dropping a pencil in a cup!  Check out the fun we had!!
