Description
Add structure and assessment to your fun Rube Goldberg, critical thinking engineering project during a forces/motion and simple machines unit discussing the change in kinetic energy as it is transferred from one object to another. Low prep and super fun end of year project based learning! During all of the designing excitement it can be easy for the students to lose their focus so I have created a more structured approach to the engineering process.
The students start out with a brainstorming session, that includes a rubric, and plan, plan, plan. As they work their way through building the project they fill out daily progress reports plus I have included rubrics for the teacher to use to assess the progress of each student each day. At the end of the project the students have a self-assessment form to fill out and there is a final grading rubric.
*Teacher notes
*Rube Goldberg project directions
*Brainstorming questions
*Brainstorming session rubric
*Daily Journal cards
*Daily project assessment cards
*Organizational pages for the students to include their sketches and descriptions
*Self assessment for students
*UPDATED WITH VIDEO ASSESSMENT RUBRIC
*Final Rube Goldberg assessment rubric

There are several methods I use to get this resource to students.
- Since this is a PowerPoint, I simply upload it into a Google slides presentation and share it on Google Classroom with each individual student. The students can then copy which slides they want and paste them into their own Google Slides unit presentation and add text boxes.
- You can export the PowerPoint into images and then send the images to them in Google Classroom.
- You can download the PowerPoint into images and place all of the images into a Google Drive folder to share with the students.
- If you are using iPads, in the same room as the students, you can simply AirDrop the images, Powerpoint or Google Slides presentation to their iPads .
If you have any questions at all, as to how to use these, please contact me at Karensinai2@gmail.com and I am more than happy to help you!
