What Is This?
This is a contraption that me and my partner Bella made on the computer in our S.T.E.M. class. The objective of our contraption was to get the dog into it's house. To do this we had to make multiple steps to get the dog into it's house. We did this by using a app that our school provided us.
1. The bowling ball falls onto the conveyor belt which is being moved by a rotating motor.
2. The bowling ball goes down a tube and leads it to the following tubes.
3. The bowling ball goes through the speed tube and hits a set of cornered brick walls and falls.
4. After the bowling ball falls it hits a funnel shaped set of walls and goes down another set of tubes
5. During the tube process it goes through a speed tube which fly's it to a brick wall which bumps it and turns on the flashlight.
6. The light source from the flashlight goes through a magnifying glass which sets the cannon's string on fire.
7. After the cannon gets fired a cannon ball shoots through the air and knocks the dog food down into the bowl.
8. When the food gets knocked down it attracts the dog and the dog moves forward.
9. When the dog walks to the food it has to go through the house which catches the dog.
Contraption Complete!

Contraption Complete!
I think me and Bella's contraption was a success. We made our goal and made it happen. I personally think that it took us a lot of time and effort. When the cannon ball first shot up into the air but Bella and I made the angle just right so that it would knock the food down into the bowl. Bella and I made this contraption by combining both of our ideas. Her's was to feed an animal and mine was to get and animal to it's home. In our contraption we put many simple machines into a computer design. Some examples of simple machines that were included in our contraption was a conveyor belt and a motor these were the main parts of our contraption that helped us complete our goal. I feel that our contraption was a fun way to open our eyes to simple machines. Me and Bella's contraption was a full out success.
