Our machine at the end will simply push a few balls into a cup or two. BUT… it will be a long and cool journey there.

Things you will need:

A long board

A Matchbox car. (Make sure it is strong!)

Lots of dominos!!

6,7, or 8 cups cups 1, 2, 3 or 4 balls

4 brick

ductape

2 2 by 4 legos

2 popsicle sticks

Lots of toilet paper tubes/paper towel tubes!!

How to make it:

1. Take the board and lay it one side on the table the other side on the floor.

2. Make a wall on the sides of the board out of anything  that will stay when something hits it.

3. At the bottom you will notice that there is an empty space. find something to put over it. It can be anything that will hold up a matchbox car.

4. Put 6 dominos at the bottom 1 inch away from the board.

5. Make the 1 row of dominos split into 2 rows by simply putting 2 dominos in front of the 1 so that it will push down those 2 dominos down at the same time.

6. Place 4 dominos in front of each of those 2 dominos

7.  Place 7 more dominos this time curving back towards the ramp going in 2 different ways

8. Place about 10 more dominos in front of each of the 2 lines of dominos.

9. Put a brick 3 4ths of an inch in front of your dominos.

10. Stack another brick on top of the 2 you you just placed.

11. Put 2 dominos on the 2 bricks.

12. Lay 1 popsicle stick  across the domino on the brick and the one on the floor. (If it does not reach across then take off the top brick).

13. Place a cup at the bottom of the brick.

14. Try it out by rolling the matchbox car down the board.
