Rube Goldberg Project

Our Rube Goldberg the “Boat Pop” is a Rube Goldberg that starts with a phone on a ramp and then the phone gets a call and vibrates down the ramp and hits the dominoes which hits the marbles then the marble rolls down a cut pool noodle on to a ramp of Popsicle sticks onto a boat with a needle attached at the end which is on a cardboard ramp and the boat slides down the ramp and pops the balloon.

Our three energy transfers are the phone hitting the dominoes(Potential to Kinetic), the marble sliding down the ramp(Potential to Gravitational) and finally the boat sliding and popping the balloon(Mechanical to Sound)
