Rube Goldberg went well for most students.  Students struggled but most did not give up.  Giving full grades for the builds as long as students did not give up (regardless of the ultimate success of their machine).  Remainder of grade is dependent on student write-up of their Rube Goldberg machine and a reflection on the importance of failure in science.

Rahmlow: 8 students failing currently
Roberts: 21 students failing currently

Reviewed energy unit test to ensure we are continuing planning toward that goal.
