With so many Year 5/6 students participating today at the Central Zone Athletics we needed a challenge that would involve all the rest of the remaining students. The Rube Goldberg challenge was born.
The task: To put a piece of paper into the rubbish bin. Seemingly a simple task it becomes more complicated when the students start to apply the concepts of a Rube Goldberg machine.
"A Rube Goldberg machine is a contraption, invention, device or apparatus that is deliberately over-engineered or overdone to perform a very simple task in a very complicated fashion, usually including a chain reaction."
The challenge: To put a piece of paper into the rubbish bin in the most complicated manner or from the furtherest distance.
Enjoy watching the results:
