Rube Goldberg-esque

Reading Balloons Over Broadway led to a short invention research unit for grade 5, wherein we compared print and online encyclopedias. Online was overwhelmingly preferred by the students ... and did you know that you can access World Book Web at home? Just go to askri.org.

Before the students chose inventions to investigate, I showed them a few videos of Rube Goldberg machines ... enjoy!

Absolutely STUNNING OKGO video ... the students' jaws hit the floor
