RUBE GOLDBERG DEVICES
Tomorrow we will be finishing up the presentations of the Rube Goldberg Devices. Some students have already presented and received their marks. The rest of the students must present tomorrow morning (Language class has been switched with Science class).
This project was completed at school and began two weeks before the March Break. Students were given approximately 10 hrs total to work on these projects. Several students used their time wisely, while others are still not close to being finished. All students will be bringing home a marking sheet with their grade for the project on Friday afternoon. Please share this with your parents.
