Rube Goldberg machines with electricity 💥⚡️

Welcome back to yet another school blog post…

shouldn’t be anything new to you, just like every other blog post for scimatics I go over, basic project introduction, core competencies and of course a good intergration of media.

 

To start off this is a scimatics prject about eloectricy and incopperating elecicity into our own original robe Goldberg machine. 

Just like 90% of all our toyher scimatics prject, we were all put into groups. I was luck enogh to work with both Ava and Fraser, again.

 

To start off this prject of course there has to be a mind map ⬇️

Directly after the mind map we went straight into our countless workbook and textbook pages

 

Then we went off to loon lake for humanities for a week

 

 

 

 

.

and after ALL this working, learning, planning and understanding, Ava Fraser and I cam Euh with this⬇️

oh! And How could we forget about the curricular competencies!!

 

Four separate competencies were presented through this project. examples of each competency include:

questioning and predicting🤔:

  • using all class time effectively
  • Haines everything in complete and on time
  • being proud of the final product

reasoning and analyzing🧐 :

  • the final blueprint
  • making appropriate predictions and assumptions
  • the final blueprint including all the following; drawn on grid scale, all parts are measured accurately and all lines and materials are easily distinguished.

 Planning and conducting 📋:

  • Using all provided equipment appropriately (voltmeter, power source, cables etc.)
  • probely recording and measuring; current, resistance and voltage
  • using the apportaient symbols to showed unit of measurement (Eg.Ω = ohms)

scientific communication 📡:

  • Our video shows multiple angels of each function of our machine to show you exactly what’s happening
  • have a clear consistent voice over explain what and why about our project
  • We have a strong connection to metaphors about the scientific method

 

In the end Ava, Fraser and I got a 🌈  overall for our final machine, video and planning.

 

Thank you again for putting yourself through this blog. Can’t wish until you get to read my next one 💪
