Rube Goldbergs

I added a slide show you can see at the right. These are Physics Fair projects from last year.
Also, if you want to see some neat Rube Goldberg machines check out the links:

And, when you are on break.com, search Rube goldberg and check out all the things people have done to waste time! Keep in mind that even though dominoes and their likenesses are cool, they are very shock sensitive and not a good choice for Physics Fair.

This is my first blog entry. Its for a class I am taking called Web EDU. As a physics teacher in the information age, the popularity of blogs prompts me to get involved, so here I go.
