Attached please find this week's STEAM activity. 

Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist and inventor who liked to create overly complex machines to complete a simple task using a series of chain reactions.  Think dominoes, ramps, levers, pulleys, and more! 

Your challenge is to watch some Rube Goldberg machines in action, get inspired, then create your own machine outdoors using natural objects such as rocks, sticks, hills, etc. Don't forget to click on the link below for your instructions.

I would like you to incorporate your PE activities this week into the STEAM Activity by creating an outdoor obstacle course that could include ramps, levers, pulleys, etc. Then challenge your family members or friends from your bubble to give it a try. Maybe you could work with a couple of your close friends to create an even more challenging obstacle course only using outdoor materials. 

I would love to see some of your obstacle courses. Maybe you could make a short video and share it with me at wendy.baldwin@nbed.nb.ca.

Have a great week everyone and be sure to get outside. It is going to be beautiful.

Good luck to all participants in the ASDN Virtual Olympics that begin tomorrow.
