Magic Portion

The students created a Rube Goldberg machine to demonstrate how physics and math concepts are related by mixing lemonade juice with butterfly pea juice. Their machine included an inclined plane, seesaw, circular filter, and domino effect to transfer motion. Through testing their design, the students found it more challenging than expected and had to modify some steps. They learned how concepts like linear motion, circular motion, and momentum applied to each part of the machine.

OBJECTIVE

The objective is to

indicate and
demonstrate how
Rube Goldberg
related to Math and
Physics and to pour
lemonade to the
butterfly pea juice.
INTRODUCTION
Rube Goldberg is the series of
performing simple tasks to be more
complicated in the domino effect which
means that each steps are related. The
name Rube Goldberg is come from an
American cartoon and the inventor
named Reuben Garrett Lucius
Goldberg. Through
this project, we can notice
about how math and
physics involved. This
project allows us to know
and see clearly
INTRODUCTION
math and physics involved. This
project allows us to know and see
clearly how linear motion,
circulation motion and even the
magnetic force look like. Also, by
doing this project, it allows us to
show how we use Physics and
Math to cooperate.
INTRODUCTION
In the experiment we want to create a
Rube Goldberg machine that have a
purpose to mix the lemonade juice with the
butterfly pea. The topic for our experiment is
magic. In our experiment, many parts are
related to both Physic and Math. Like we
create the incline plane, the speed of an
object in the incline plane will depend on the
steep of the plane. We also create a circular
plane which related to the circular motion
topic. The seesaw also related to the torque
topic. The moving marble related to
momentum topic. The hold experiment is
related to conservation of energy topic.

MATERIALS

2 Toy cars
Marble
Small ball
Paper plate
Plastic bottle
PVC Magnet
Funnel
Future board
Plastic tape
Domino
Lemonade
Butterfly pea juice
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the long PVC pipe and the
short PVC pipe with tape
2. Stick the PVC pipe end with tape both at the
top of the shelves and the corner of the
refrigerator

3. Cut the future board to create the


incline plane and five barriers
4. Connect the future board plane and the five
barriers with the tape
5. Fold the plate paper into conical shape and
connected it between the future board and
the table
6. Create the beam by connected the short
PVC pipe with the triangle pivot in the middle

7. Set up the domino in the straight line on


the table near the beam

8. Set up the toys car between the beam


and the domino
9. Set the magnet and the ball near the
corner of the table
10. Connect the PVC pipe with tape at the

corner of the table and the table leg to
create the incline plane and slope
11. Set up the filter in the direction that the
circular have the greatest period and
connected it with the table leg and the incline
PVC pipe with tape
12. Create another incline PVC pipe to
collect the ball from the filter
13. The incline make the ball speed up and
collide with the lemonade which cause it to fall
into butterfly pea juice and change color

ANALYSIS

By doing the Rube Goldberg project,


we find that Physics and Math can be
related. From Physic, we find that using
the inclined plane which is PVC give us
the linear motion. Also, from the start
when the car drop to the board we
created, it give us parabola, from the
fridge to the board. The seesaw shows
clearly how we adapt physics due to it is
related to rotational motion, also, we also
create the cone shape and use the filter
in order to show the circular motion. As
the result, we find that the horizontal filter
to the inclined plane create the highest
period.
ANALYSIS
We decide to change lots of plans such as
the phone vibration, the PVC act as the river
and the pulley that will bomb the balloon.
Because firstly, the phone vibration, it works,
however; when we try again, it doesn't work.
Therefore, we think that it should be easier
to change it to use our hand to release the
car. For the opening the hair dryer part, we
cannot do it due to all of us cannot find the
hair dryer that will be easy to push it, so we
decide to change to only the inclined plane.
For the pulley, we took lots of time on it. We
first think that it can work. We tried to make
the needle near as the balloon as possible
so that when the ball drops
ANALYSIS
in another side of pulley, the another side
with needle will hit the balloon with the
ball inside. As the result the balloon is hit
by the needle but it doesn't bomb. So, we
decide to change the needle and use the
cutter instead. However, it doesn't work.
The balloon is too sticky and thick. So, we
cut this step out. Also, we decide to adjust
some step, like first we are going to use
the filter after the pulley again, but due to
we cut that part off, so we move the filter
step to be before the seesaw.
CONCLUSION

In conclusion the hold


experiment is harder
than we expect it to be.
So we need to cut
some of the plan, but
overall is meet our
expectation.
RECOMMENDATION

If we were given the chance


to do the experiment again
then we will take more time
planning and plan more
reasonably because the plan
for the end part for our
project is not working well as
we expect so we need to
change it.
