5. Simple Machines Design a Rube Goldberg device that uses at least six simple machines sequentially. Try to use most materials: cardboard, tape, hot glue, popsicle sticks, string, marbles, cardboard tubes, drinking straws, plastic soda bottles, and dominoes. Remember, you re not limited to just these materials; be creative! Use 3D printed components, if a printer is available. Each team member is responsible for at least two stages. Record your design in your notebook.
