00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,560
Let's build a Rube Goldberg machine!

2
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,559
But who was Rube Goldberg?

3
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:27,559
Rube Goldberg was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer and inventor.

4
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:37,000
Goldberg began his career as an engineer and later became a cartoonist

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,560
who drew illustrations of contraptions made up of pulleys, cups, balloons, etc.

6
00:00:47,219 --> 00:01:01,479
Those contraptions were designed to solve a simple task,

7
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:06,659
such as opening a window or setting an alarm clock.

8
00:01:12,379 --> 00:01:14,939
So, what do you have to do?

9
00:01:14,939 --> 00:01:24,180
You have to build a Rube Goldberg machine using objects you have at home

10
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:34,079
Step 1. Decide which problem you are going to solve

11
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:36,500
Here you have some ideas

12
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:43,620
Ring a bell, pop a balloon, open or shut a door or a window

13
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:45,939
Put out a candle

14
00:01:45,939 --> 00:02:15,900
Step 2. Gather some objects such as marbles, toy cars, dominoes, ramps, books, rulers, tape, aluminium foil, water, balloons, cereal boxes, cups, plastic bottles, etc.

15
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:36,020
Step 3. Build your machine. Try it until it works properly and you solve the problem.

16
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:41,960
Remember, the longer the sequence is, the funnier it gets.

17
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:55,169
Step 4. Record the sequence and send it to your teacher on the Teams platform.

18
00:02:55,169 --> 00:03:09,840
form. You will find a lot of examples of Goldberg machines in YouTube. Don't try anything dangerous.

19
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:20,270
Ask for help if you need it. Here you have a list of materials you may use.

20
00:03:20,270 --> 00:03:47,180
Instrucciones. Decide el problema que quieres resolver. Puede ser la idea más absurda

21
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:52,520
of the world, it does not matter, it will be very fun. To do this, gather objects that you have at home,

22
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:59,180
you do not have to buy absolutely anything. With all those objects, make a circuit to

23
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:06,020
solve your problem. Test every time it is needed until it works. When your machine

24
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:12,979
manages to solve the problem you have raised, record it and send it to us to see how you have done it.

25
00:04:12,979 --> 00:04:26,920
If you need inspiration or have a good time for a while, on YouTube you will find a lot of videos of this type.

26
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:35,420
Of course, don't do anything at home that can be dangerous and ask for help whenever you need it.
