3rd place in the schools Science Fair. He's a sophomore and along with a buddy built a "Rube Goldberg". For those that don't know what that is, think, over-complicated way or means to accomplish a small, menial task. Dang, when I type that out it makes it seem like this mighta been a project for Govt. class, not Science.[:0]

An engineering fair maybe, but did it really enhance understanding of any particular subject?
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Just curious, what does that have to do with science?

Most Rube Goldbergs I have seen were mechanical in nature. Physics 101 is often a class in mechanics and waves. Sounds like science to me. Levers,inclined planes,screws, applications of potential and kinetic energy etc. etc.....
