Rube Goldberg Bowling

Posted on January 18, 2008 by kieronski

Rube Goldberg was a famous American cartoonist who drew intricate, complicated inventions that performed a simple task such as cracking an egg open. Well……our 6th graders took our bowling unit into a whole new direction. The task was to knock down at least one pin. The process was up to them. They could use mats, tires, cones, noodles, bins, boxes, scooters and anything they could think of to pay homage to Rube Goldberg and his idea of convoluting ideas. Take a look at some of the bowling inventions our 6th graders created!!! Rube, no need to turn over in your grave.
