The 4th of July and Mouse Trap Game

Remember that old game you had - "Mouse Trap" - well, we are going to make Rube Goldberg machines next year in my

science class and I remembered that game. I found it and we

put it together. It was a hit with the grandkids - they thought

it was great how it caught the mice every time - (we never did

play the game - just ran the marble through the maze over

and over.).

(We'll be doing Ancient Times in History - so simple machines.

I thought it might be fun to use simple machines in a fun way and I think the kids will like

this idea too.)
