A choice on our Rube Goldberg

Hello all you Rube Goldberg fans! You know, that cool machine which does easy tasks in the most hard way possible. We have finally decided what are machine idea is going to be. Sadly, you people NEVER leave a comment telling us things. For example, you could of guessed what the machine was going to do. Anyway, getting off that depressing note, the machine is going to pop a balloon! *tweet, tweet* Well it may not sound exciting, but remember all those videos you saw? Well, hopefully this we'll be just as well.                    
The picture is drawn by Nikita, and this report is written by me, (Andre). This machine might be improved, so please leave a comment telling us how we could improve it. If you don't like the idea or how this machine is going to be built, please tell us how we could take away a part and replace a certain part with, or add to the machine. Be honest! (children never lie, right?)   Well, sadly this article comes ....to..... an...............END! :(

The Epic Rube Goldberg machine

This is a continuation of the Rube Goldberg project. Leading this project are Nikita and Andre. As a reminder, the Rube Goldberg machine is made to do the most simple everyday tasks in so much more complicated ways. If all goes well we will create a Rube Goldberg machine. To get some ideas we went on YouTube, and watched some videos. One of our favorites was a Halo Reach Rube Goldberg video, but since it was animated we posted this one instead. In this video, a Rube Goldberg machine saves a weird dancing kid from stepping on a banana peel. The Rube Goldberg video is a bit hard to explain, so for more information watch this video!

Some jellyfisht are 98% water. There are many types of jellyfish in the ocean. These jelly-like creatures pulse along on ocean currents. Inside their bell-shaped body is an opening that is their mouth. As jellyfish squirt water from their mouth they are propelled forward in the water.

Making a Newspaper Table

Judy and Adam are showing us how to make a newspaper table. They are trying to make a table out of newspapers so it can hold up heavy objects. They make different types of tables until it can hold a really heavy object. Finally, they succeed at making a table that could hold heavy objects.

Judy or Adam take photos and videos of all their work, and they put them on the Internet.

The Herald will be taking Judy and Adam's challenges, and we'll put our own photos and videos of our work on the web. Here is one of our first videos of the testing phase:
