Where's Rube Goldberg?

If you would have traveled through the Tech. Ed. Hallway at Edgerton High School this morning you may have noticed some 3rd-5th grade students trying to model a Rube Goldberg machine.  Students have been given the challenge to build a compound machine that will send a tennis ball traveling at least one meter horizontally or vertically.   Students are using materials all the way from string and cardboard to paper cups and PVC pipe.   In the next couple of weeks students will put their machines to the test and see how far that little tennis ball will  travel!
