Inquiry | Rube Goldberg | 5 W's and the H | Character Biography

LI: To learn about the man behind the machines

We needed to write about the cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg or Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg. In groups of 6, we wrote the biography including the 5 W's and the H. We included some photos of his inventions with attributions or as label for reuse.

When we finished the slide, we needed to make our own Rube Goldberg Human Machine. We had to form into a group of 12 with another group to complete our Human Rube Goldberg Machine. Our goal was too make a machine that started from behind the benches at the wall and we needed to go OVER the benches (We werent allowed to go around) and we had to make a mechanism to open the door.
