A-Level physics requires patience, determination, creativity and the ability to think around a problem. That’s why we’ve set you the challenge to design your own Rube Goldberg machine.
Named after the American cartoonist this is a machine that is purposely designed to perform a simple task in an indirect, convoluted way. The task is up to you and can be anything from switching on a kettle to blowing out a candle.
There are plenty of examples on the internet for inspiration including our teacher, Karen, watering a plant Rube Goldberg style, see the Youtube link.
Once you have your working contraption, video it and upload it. We can’t wait to see your creations.
Adrian, Tory, Karen and Ken
