A Ramp and Swing Kinder Invention
Go HD
After studying some simple machines, the kindergarteners learned about Rube Goldberg. They got to try out their own silly invention to do something simple using a ramp and swing.
Goldberg's "name is an eponym for his famed “invention drawings,” designs of overly complicated machines: using things like pulleys, levers, birds, and rockets to fix simple problems like fishing an olive out of a tall jar, or remembering to mail a letter to your wife. Goldberg approached them as a tongue-in-cheek critique of the havoc wrought by industrialization and put forward the idea that technology, intended to simplify people’s lives could have the opposite effect."
