Problem Solving in HG

American cartoonist, Rube Goldberg, designed silly contraptions which used an indirect and overly-complicated chain reaction to perform a very simple task. For our science enquiry, we built some out of everyday objects. We didn't have a task to achieve at the end; we just aimed for a chain of 4 reactions using different forces such as push, accelerate, drop, roll, etc. We managed to catch a few on film working all the way through, and some clips  for the bloopers reel.
