Rube Goldberg project experience
The objective of the experience was to make us think in an inquiry way of a design for an apparatus in which some exchanges of energy have to take place. Apart form this main objective, a side aim for me would have been to exchange ideas with the classmates in my group using the English language. I achieved the first one but not the later.
At the beginning, most of the group didn't like the activity, but I did. It's my feeling that we, Spaniards, are not used to this kind of open, inquiry activities and that we easily get lost. Nevertheless, finally everybody accepted the challenge and all of us wanted our apparatus to work properly in front of the jury.
I like this activity to be done with my students in the Physics class. It's easy to adapt to different levels and it addresses to many types of learners.
