Put Flowers in a Vase - Machine #1 (To be Updated)

This simple RGM, with only 3 transfers of energy, is a great way to practice your chain reaction skills while also practicing your interior decoration skills. It’s also a great way to present your mom, aunt, or grandma with flowers on Mother’s Day! The machine combines water balloons, flowers, and two simple machines (lever and inclined plane). Because this machine is so simple, it gives you plenty of opportunity to expand it with your own ideas and creations! 


Extra Helpful Hint #1: The duct tape on the right-side paper towels is critical. It's because you only want one end of the paper towels to move - not both sides! 


Extra Helpful Hint #2: Try a regular balloon instead of a water balloon if it bursts too early. Just add a rubber band around the faucet head to keep it secured.
