This week we started by going over the Rube Goldberg designs our Scouts completed at home. It was fun to see the different ideas the boys came up with! One Scout even built his design at home!
After we talked about our different designs, the boys broke up into two groups to design and build their own Rube Goldberg machines. They used levers, pulleys, pendulums, and all kinds of combinations of simple machines to complete their task: knocking down a figurine at the end of the line.
The boys who completed all the activities from this adventure will be awarded their "Make It Move!" belt loop next week at our awards ceremony. If your Scout didn't complete his sketch at home for this week, please let me know ASAP if he will be bringing his completed design to the meeting this week so that I can make sure to get a belt loop for him, too!
Great job, Scouts!
