1 Ancient people invented simple machines that would help them overcome resistive forces and allow them to do the desired work against those forces. The six simple machines are: Lever Wheel and Axle Pulley Inclined Plane Wedge Screw 1111 2222 3333 6666 5555 4444 Next Image Source: www.clipart.com by subscriptionwww.clipart.com

4 Can you design a “Rube Goldberg” machine? A famous cartoonist named Rube Goldberg made cartoons of long, tedious inventions that used many steps to do a simple task. These inventions included many simple machines. Here is an example or this one!example one Choose a task. The purpose of a Rube Goldberg machine is to seriously over-engineer a process in order to perform a simple task. Examples- popping a balloon, or ringing a bell Make a drawing of your design, or use digital drawing tool like Dabbleboard. Use the six simple machines, and label each. Describe how your invention would work by writing about each step, and what materials you would use. 1111 2222 3333 6666 5555 4444 Next Checklist for Your Goldberg Machine Detailed & completely labeled project, all steps are labeled & explained, all six simple machines are labeled. Neat, & Legible Simple machines are used correctly to perform the correct task. This scoring tool will be used to grade your writing.scoring tool Use the Web 2.0 tool Dabbleboard as a digital drawing tool.Dabbleboard Not sure how? Use this tutorial for help.tutorial

6 BCPS Curriculum Students will classify the attributes of engineering design. Describe the engineering design process as a systematic, iterative approach to problem solving that yields design solutions. Describe the personal characteristics involved in engineering, including creativity, resourcefulness, and the ability to visualize and think abstractly. Define constraints on the engineering design process, including safety, reliability, economic considerations, quality control, environmental concerns, manufacturability, and ergonomics. Maryland State Curriculum Maryland State Curriculum Develop abilities to apply the design process. (ITEA, STL 11) Apply the design process to solve problems in and beyond the classroom. (ITEA, STL 11-H) Specify criteria and constraints for design. (ITEA, STL 11-I) Common Core State Standards Reading: 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. Writing: 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. Standards for the 21 st Century Learner Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. Time Frame: 2 class periods – one for research in computer lab and one to create machine. Differentiation: Students can work independently or in group. Provide extended time. Print student copies to allow for highlighting important information. Have students use assistive tools embedded in the BCPS databases such as read aloud and dictionary links. Learning Styles:Learning Styles: Visual Learners, Reflective, Tactile Learners, Auditory Learners Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence, Analytical Understanding Notes to the teacher: Students could present their machine to classmates. View links before hand, along with Dabbleboard. Students may print their work from Dabbleboard or choose to use another tool. If there are problems, see your Library Media Specialist.
