Day 1 - Design Day
Use the items in your box to design a Rube Goldberg machine to feed a treat to a dog. You should: -Brainstorm, talk it out, and LISTEN to your group members -Sketch and test -End the day with a plan for Build Day REMEMBER Other groups will be using your kit, so don't do anything permanent, or that. you can't rebuild next week. Things you added, like cardboard, are for your group only, so we will store them until next week. Planning document |
Day 2 - Build Day
Set up your Rube Goldberg machine.

Hawaii |
The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands. They have formed as the Earth’s crust, made up of giant rocky slabs called tectonic plates, moves over a particularly hot spot in the molten layer beneath the crust. The heat melts the rock that makes up the crust, turning it into magma. Then once the magma breaks through to the surface of the Earth’s crust it cools and forms new land. (Hawaii History) |
The Grand Canyon |
The great depth of the Grand Canyon and especially the height of its strata (most of which formed below sea level) was caused by 5,000 to 10,000 feet (1500 to 3000 m) uplift of the Colorado Plateau. This started about 65 million years ago during the Laramide period of orogeny (mountain-building). This uplift steepened the gradient of the Colorado River and its tributaries, which increased their speed and their ability to cut through rock. (Science Kids) |
Kettle Moraine State Forest, Wisconsin |
Some 20,000 years ago, two lobes of a great ice sheet met along a line extending northeast from Richmond in Walworth County through the Oconomowoc Lake country to Kewaunee County. |
Arches National Park |
First, geologic forces wrinkled and folded the buried sandstone, as if it were a giant rug and someone gathered two edges towards each other, making lumps across the middle called Anticlines. As the sandstone warped, fractures tore through it, establishing the patterns for rock sculptures of the future.
Next, the entire region began to rise, climbing from sea level to thousands of feet in elevation. What goes up must come down, and the forces of erosion carved layer after layer of rock away. Once exposed, deeply buried sandstone layers rebounded and expanded, like a sponge expands after it's squeezed (though not quite so quickly). This created even more fractures, each one a pathway for water to seep into the rock and further break it down. Today, water shapes this environment more than any other force. Rain erodes the rock and carries sediment down washes and canyons to the Colorado River. Desert varnish appears where water cascades off cliffs. In winter, snowmelt pools in fractures and other cavities, then freezes and expands, breaking off chunks of sandstone. Small recesses develop and grow bigger with each storm. Little by little, this process turns fractured rock layers into fins, and fins into arches. Arches also emerge when potholes near cliff edges grow deeper and deeper until they wear through the cliff wall below them.

Iceland - Thingvellir |
The Thingvellir National Park covers an area of 237 km2 (heritage sites cover 92.7 km2 - 9,270 ha), located in the Bláskógabyggð (Blaskogabyggd) municipality, about 50 km SW of Reykjavik. The area is part of a fissure zone traversing Iceland, positioned on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Tectonic plate boundaries separating the North American and the Eurasian plates can clearly be seen on the surface of the Thingvellir rift valley. The site’s geological uniqueness lies chiefly in the fact that it is one of the very few (if any) sites on Earth where the effects of diverging tectonic plates are clearly visible on dry land. Almannagjá at Thingvellir is considered to be one of the best examples of plate tectonics. (Iceland on the Web)

Iceland - Westman Islands |
The Westman Islands are also known for their volcanic history. Formed by submarine volcanic eruptions between 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, the latest volcanic eruption took place in 1973 when a 1,600 metre long fissure opened, traversing Heimaey from shore to shore. Within 2 days a cinder-spatter cone rose more than a 100 metres above sea level.The cone was later named Eldfell or "fire mountain". The eruption lasted nearly 5 months, but, miraculously, no lives were lost. The fishing port, also called Vestmannaeyjar, on Heimaey island was almost ruined, and the effects are still visible in the town in a project called “Pompeii of the North” - an enterprise to excavate some of the almost 400 homes and buildings still covered by lava and ash from the eruption.

Appalachian Mountains |
A look at rocks exposed in today’s Appalachian mountains reveals elongated belts of folded and thrust faulted marine sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks and slivers of ancient ocean floor, which provides strong evidence that these rocks were deformed during plate collision.

Mt. Everest and the Himalayas |
Geologically speaking, the Himalayas and Mount Everest are relatively young. They began forming over 65 million years ago when two of the earth's great crustal plates—the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate—collided. The Indian subcontinent moved northeastward, crashing into Asia, folding and pushing the plate boundaries until the Himalayas were eventually over five miles tall. The Indian plate, moving forward about 1.7 inches per year, is being slowly pushed under or subducted by the Eurasian plate, which obstinately refuses to move. As a result, the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau continue to rise about 5 to 10 millimeters each year. Geologists estimate that India will continue moving northward for almost a thousand miles over the next 10 million years.
