Reflection:

My Seder Plate/Table item:Bitter Herbs

My Plague:Boils

Today my group worked on thinking of a plan for our Rube Goldberg. Some of our ideas are that we might use red marbles to represent boils and to start the Rube Goldberg we might somehow pop a balloon and inside the balloon will be a big ball or a lot of mini marbles that will go down a path or something like that and it will help to continue on the whole Rube Goldberg. We don’t have a specific whole plan yet but we have some mini ideas which will hopefully lead us into a main idea.

The part of this assignment that I think will be most challenging is starting the Rube Goldberg because you need to find something VERY forceful to push one thing to go to another thing and its challenging to find something heavy enough but not to heavy that it can’t move at all. Also you are never fully sure if the Rube Goldberg will work and you can only use your hand at the beginning to start the Rube Goldberg. Also its hard to have to relate this to Passover although we already thought of the red marbles which represent boils so I guess it actually isn’t that hard as long as you focus and put your mind to it.

I read through the rubric and here are my questions:N/A

The next steps for my group is actually having a plan and design for our Rube Goldberg by combining all our ideas together which can be a challenge but its also going to be totally worth it in the end!

Materials I need to start gathering:So far what I know of that our group needs is red marbles that are pretty small.That’s all I know of for now but I’m sure there is more stuff we need. Here are the links to my partners blogs so you can look on their blogs to see what else we need and their thought’s and opinions on this and their thinking process.
