Project Reflection.
During this project I feel I have improved a lot ranging in the areas of time management and Designing an experiment, I spent a lot of time revising and editing multiple parts of the final project draft shown above. I could not design an experiment well at the start of the year and I fell I Have improved tremendously.

Rube Goldberge
Rube Goldberge- is a contraption, invention, device or apparatus that is deliberately over-engineered to perform a simple task in a complicated fashion.
Throughout this project It tested our perseverance and our will as a group. We wanted our Rube Goldberge to work well and it took alot of blood sweat and tears, but in the end it was able to work. So the steps it went through are-
A concept I learned was how to build and calculate simple machines.
What skills did I learn- I learned that most of the time if I persevere it works out in the end.
What steps were most challenging to make- The pulley was easily the hardest step to make it took alot of fine tuning to line it up properly.
Throughout this project It tested our perseverance and our will as a group. We wanted our Rube Goldberge to work well and it took alot of blood sweat and tears, but in the end it was able to work. So the steps it went through are-
- A marble is dropped
- the marble rolls down a ramp contacting a loose piece of wood
- same as last step
- rolls down into a funnel
- dispersers the marble onto a ramp that contacts dominoes
- The dominoes fall down hitting a large marble
- Large marble rolls into the cup that activates a pulley
- The pulley raises hitting a ramp
- the ramp rolls a marble down it
- Hitting dominoes
- Activating a Rat trap
- making a hammer fall onto a button
- button shoots air knocking down a mento into a coke bottle.
