  21. Materials Used Spray Can

  22. Materials Used Soccer Ball

  23. Materials Used ‘Hamburger’

  24. Energy Conversions

  25. 1st Station • GPE of the hamburger is converted into KE as it travels down the ramp • When the hamburger hits the ramp, the KE is transferred to the soccer ball, giving it KE

  26. 2nd Station • Having KE, the soccer ball drops off the table and continue moving, hitting the book • KE is transferred from the soccer ball to the book, causing the book to topple

  27. 3rd Station • As the 1st book topples, it creates a domino effect and it continues throughout

  28. 4th Station • As the KE is being transferred to the small blue book, it topples and lands onto a string (attached to the bottle and the end of the chair).

  29. 4th Station • As there is tension in the string, the bottle topples over, releasing the string attached to the ball which it is sitting on

  30. 5th Station • The ball is released after the bottle toppled and it hits the ‘play’ button on the keyboard, starting the song ‘London Bridge’

  31. 5th Station • As the ball still has KE, it travels down the keys and hit the book, once again the domino effect is triggered

  32. 6th Station • When the blue book topples, the KE is being transferred to the green toy car, causing it to move down the ramp

  33. 7th Station • As there is tension in the string, the eraser is being pulled away from the wheel when the car hits the string, freeing the robot There’s a string attached from the bottle to an eraser which is in front of the robot’s wheel

  34. 8th Station • The robot travels on the track and finally hits the book, which topples onto the bottle, releasing the cotton twine, which is attached to another bottle[not shown]

  35. 9th Station • When the cotton twine is released, the bottle drops onto the toothpaste, thus squeezing it

  36. Mistakes & Challenges

  37. Mistakes • The soccer ball went out of track and failed to start the domino effect • The gaps between the books were too far and some failed to continue the domino effect

  38. Mistakes • The tension in the string tied to the water bottle was too small, allowing the book to land onto the string without triggering any other movements • The ball was not directly above the ‘play’ button of the keyboard and no music was played even after the ball was released

  39. Challenges • External forces like wind exerted a force on part of the domino chain and messed up our Rube Goldberg machine • Carelessness in our movements caused mess-ups in our preparations

  40. Challenges • We did not manage to build our machine according to our original design due to miscalculations and misjudgments • We had to make use of common household objects to substitute those that we lacked

  41. The End
