Reflection:
During the Rube Goldberg Project each group tried to create a working machine that would complete an extremely simple task. My group decided to try and make waffles by having batter get pored through a funnel and a set of marbles that would close the waffle maker. We did not succeed but we did learn valuable lesson and how to calculate a lot of things. We learned how to calculate velocity, momentum, potential energy, kinetic energy, work in joules, power in watts, conservation of momentum, and hang time. This was a slightly stressful project but I think I pulled away with more knowledge than before.
