Welcome to Ort OREN Junior High School's ninth grade "Atuda" class Amusement Park. The Marvelous Machine
Our Step List

2. Domino station. 
3. The station includes a marble which moves on a zigzag path .
4. The station includes a marble which goes on a flat surface .
5. The station includes a car which traveling on a flat surface.
6. A trolley which moves on a flat surface straight and then it moves in a circular motion.
7. The weight step moves around a pole 
8. A Marble step which moves on a sloping track 
9. A marble moves on a sloping trail 
10. The mass of the train releases the umbrella’s brake. The umbrella has a heavy tube connected to it with a string connecting the two. Because of the high mass of the tube the umbrella is being pulled down in a circular motion. 
11. A water wheel step 
12. The umbrella step 
13. In the movement of the tube it pulls a string upwards which pulls a bottle of water. The change in degrees causes the water to be released and flow down the rail

16. The electric circuit activates the fan which moves the boat 
17. The boat moves across the water in the direction of the balloon and the pin which is attached to the boat blows up the balloon 
18. The explosion of the balloon releases string which is attached to the balloon and to the bottle and the bottle flips. 
19. Chemical station- inside the bottle there is vinegar, when the bottle flipped the vinegar spilled into a glove that contains baking soda which causes a chemical interaction that makes the rubber glove to inflate
20. The inflated rubber glove hits a ball which goes on to roll down the rail. 
21. The ball causes the magnet to release the iron ball, which then goes on to roll down the rail and hit the iron rod which then moves forward

Why think we should win?

We think we should win because we worked hard and put a lot of energy and effort in this project. We had a great teamwork and learned a lot about our topic which was an alternative usage of different kinds of energy. Our team met on Wednesdays and Tuesdays, and during Science class. It was our first year participating in this challenge and all of our hard work would pay off if we won. Our "Marvelous Machine" our first Rube Goldberg that we've ever made. We are very proud of what we have accomplished.

Our suggestion for next year's challenge

Spend more than three minutes English and add more subjects other disciplines

The machines volume:

Depth – 2 m
Length – 2 m
Width – 2 m
