This is a PBL project that used a Rube Goldberg machine as the basis for students to understand the concepts of force and Newton's Laws. It was specifically designed to help students increase their depth of knowledge of Newton's Three Laws of Motion, as well as concepts of equilibrium, rotational force (motion and torque), acceleration, and the Universal Law of Gravitation. The project required students to design, build, and then use as a basis to prove their applied mastery of force, a working Rube Goldberg Machine. Note that the project was designed and delivered per the North Carolina honors Physics curriculum and it can be customized to meet your own specific curriculum needs and resources.
