Intro to our Rube Goldberg Machine:
What did we do to complete the task?

The slideshow above is the one that we presented to the judges on rube Goldberg night. I split up the parts of the slideshow (steps, theme, elements of design, energy transfers, and simple machines.) to my group members, and I took the main part of making all 12 steps into slides with calculations and diagrams of each step.
For our final presentation, I made each person in our group a note card of what to say during the presentation. I only did the 12 steps and theme, but because that was the hardest thing to describe if you didn't do the calculations and learn about each step's physics and how they worked together, then it would be much easier to just read what someone wrote for you to say. This plan worked out great, and everyone spoke clearly and described the steps perfectly, so I say that it was worth the time.
