Overview A weight is released and pulls down the lever of toaster Weight hits the lever which in turn triggers a mousetrap Mousetrap launches a ball at a plank of wood that release gates holding marbles Marbles roll down a tube onto a slide and push the bread into the toaster Toast is made!

Energy Projectile Motion Rotational Kinetic Energy Linear Momentum Marble from mousetrap Rotational Kinetic Energy Marbles rolling down tube onto ramp Linear Momentum Collision of marbles and bread Torque Weight falling on seesaw lever

Design/Construction Issues Not having an outline Rubber band not breaking when pulling toaster lever down Mousetrap not creating enough force to trigger the release of marbles Bread not sliding down

Conclusion We learned the value of teamwork Learned 1000 ways how not to make toast using Rube Goldberg device The project overall was fun and helped us to understand the concepts that we learned in class
