    This document provides instructions for a lesson on Rube Goldberg machines. It includes links to review simple machines using flashcards and a matching game. Students are asked to watch two video examples of Rube Goldberg machines and answer questions about them. They are then instructed to watch a third video and describe how each type of simple machine (wedge, inclined plane, pulley, wheel and axle, screw, lever) is used to transfer energy in the Rube Goldberg machine shown. The document emphasizes saving work in case the lesson continues another day.
