You're such an incredible teacher to let your students be creative and not focus on the mess. You let kids be kids while encouraging their curious minds. They will always remember you!
I did this is 6th grade and we got to choose the end goal! My group filtered dirty water at the end but the process looked very similar to this! Great project, one of my favs!!
I did it in 4th-5th grade!! There was one challenge tournament where we had to make a working claw machine, and the other was this. Gifted classes were so much fun.. I mean the elementary ones. Middle schools less fun for me.
@@dark_cherry961It was the opposite for me lol. In elementary school, it just felt like I was just being forced to do a bunch of boring stuff I didn't care about, whereas in middle school, we mostly just chilled out and we got to choose which projects we wanted to do and participate in. It was mostly just a much-needed break, but we also did a lot of fun stuff in there, and I have a lot of good memories! :]
@@elvinwisp that’s good! I’m glad for you. I think it was just me moving twice during middle school, and all my friends I actually got close to as an introverted, anti-social shy person, were just constantly taken away from me, so it was kind of hard to move on, yknow? But that’s the only reason, really.
@@dark_cherry961 Yeah, the friend separation part of middle and high school isn't fun. I made new friends in my gifted class in middle school, but none after that :p
I just wanna say that my gifted class teacher made me hate going to school and made me so anxious over the one day a week I had to go to her class all day. It’s so nice to see a fun teacher that lets her students’ imaginations thrive.
This is why I have more learning memories from the few hours a week in gt compared to the rest of my elementary schooling. It's so important for kids to have opportunities to be creative and problem solve!
My gifted teacher made elementary school bearable. You are having such a positive impact on these kids, and it is nice to see your passion for teaching in your videos!
I love your videos. Your kids must love you! You seem to provide such an inclusive, free, loving environment. I work in an SS2 classroom and homeschooled 2 children k-8th grade.
Looks like you have as much fun teaching those kids, as they do learning. There’s nothing like an amazing teacher in a kid’s life. You not only give them the skills they need, but great memories they’ll treasure for the rest of their life. I’m 72, and still remember the great teachers I had. (And some stinkers, too). 🇨🇦
I was a Type A STEM teach who assigned Rube Goldberg machines, and let me tell you, I just breathed deeply until that project was over! My kids had to also video the (hopefully) working machine, so there was a lot of iPad filming involved.
This is such a fun project and you’re the exact type of teacher I’d want helping me with it. I hope y’all had a blast and made memories to remember. And learned something since ya know, I guess that’s important too.
You just brought back the BEST memory of my 5th grade science teacher! She brought in so much stuff like paper towel rolls and all types of things and we spent a week crafting stand alone rube Goldberg machines! So fun!
Reminds me of the one room schoolhouse my son went to for two years. My son was advanced and acting up because he was bored in school. The kids could go at their own pace as they learned different subjects.This school regularly took the kids on field trips(one family was building a new house, they started with blue prints) and a guide dog in training. They took turns doing fun things like helping cook lunch, water table, feeding the animals, etc. They talked about their days first on a large floor mat. A great place for learning.
This is what I needed in school. Thank you for being such a good teacher. I absolutely loved school until 4th grade. I never missed a day. But my 4th grade teacher was my first bully. Every year, her MO was to pick out a couple students she would treat horribly. I ended being one of them because she needed to move me closer to the board because I needed glasses. After her, I just went thru the motions. I was always a good student, but I stopped applying my full potential. So thanks from 10 year old me for being a positive influence in your student's lives ♥️
I understand you. I had a 3rd grade teacher who apparently resented me because I needed sit at the front due to a visual impairment. To this day, I still don't get it.
Just FYI, you are one of my inspirations and I’m a college professor! My students never quite know what they’ll see when they walk in… preschool art supplies? Body parts? (I teach nursing and have a friend who is a butcher who gets me various cow and pig internal organs for my lectures.) This is awesome!
being in gifted classes when i was in middle school were some of the most fun times bc it was like getting a break from the regular work and thinking outside the box
My son LOVED that stuff. Built a core memory building a roller coaster in math. Does he remember the math, probably NOT! The roller coaster- forever ❤❤
If I would have found out I was a gifted kid sooner and learned how to do school work more fun(?) I would’ve loved you as a teacher. Your students are so lucky ❤
This video has made me realize that I am an A.5 teacher (I've just made up this term). I like cleanliness and order, but I could totally deal with this as long as the students took responsibility for cleaning it up when we were done and we could still move around the classroom. That's an A.5 teacher 😅
I was in a gifted program in school and one year we made the gifted classroom into a wetland. Everyone got an animal and an object/plant/decoration to paper mache and then we made a walk through a ( “life size”) wetland. I still remember I made a panther. Took a couple weeks too. It was a fun project. I guess my teacher was also okay with a “mess” ha !
I love how they're using regular household items and not an expensive kit to help the build. Seeing everyday items in a different way is fun, practical, and useful for a lifetime. Only problem is that you won't want to part with anything 😂 Signed, a field engineer that often has to fix on a fly.
My gifted class did the same sort of project when I was in 4th grade! My teacher had a pet spider and the goal was to save that spider from her kidnapper in a mountain. We built smaller models to show how we’d save her.
We tried that when i was in high school in peers (peers was a group where you got taken out of class to do fun stuff if you had basicly no friends from what i understood all i cared about was i missed maths on a thursday and got to go to the playpark and to see the ducks or to the shop to get snacks or do fun stuff and we had party's sometimes) but low and behold our chain reaction ended up with toothpaste everywhere as the book we used for structure fell on the toothpaste tube and it exploded
The best projects are fun and messy😂 although, I do sometimes feel bad if I leave extra work for the awesome custodians😅 it happens though. Pay final results? I gotta see how they get it done❤
⟟ remember in 4th or 5th grade we did this experiment in my g and t class (stands for gifted and talented, every kid took it in my school as ⏃ trade-around special (non-core class)). we had to get ⏃ ping pong ball into ⏃ small solo cup by using at the least three reactions. it was so fun!!! :>
I'd have killed to have a teacher like you in school. We never did anything. I was in my 3rd year of COLLEGE when our class did the egg drop experiment.... and that was for a lit class.

Your classroom looks like engaged students are learning there, it’s wonderful!
I would be blessed to have you as a teacher growing up! Your students are very lucky to have such a amazing teacher. 👏
I just wanna say that my gifted class teacher made me hate going to school and made me so anxious over the one day a week I had to go to her class all day. It’s so nice to see a fun teacher that lets her students’ imaginations thrive.
I love your classroom-- it feels "alive" with possibilities!!
This is why I have more learning memories from the few hours a week in gt compared to the rest of my elementary schooling. It's so important for kids to have opportunities to be creative and problem solve!
It’s BEAUTIFUL 😍♥️♥️♥️💪🏼 that’s what LOVE looks like.
THIS is how it should be! We love you Teach Chang and all of the awesome teachers out there!
This woman is an incredibly gifted teacher. Creativity and patience. I couldn’t.
Love the Rube Goldberg Machines! Project Jason use to be the basis of my science curriculum and that was always a favorite investigation.
I would have loved a teacher like you in the fourth and fifth grade. All I had were books and US News magazines.
My gifted teacher made elementary school bearable. You are having such a positive impact on these kids, and it is nice to see your passion for teaching in your videos!
She genuinely loves teaching and it shows❤
I love your videos. Your kids must love you! You seem to provide such an inclusive, free, loving environment. I work in an SS2 classroom and homeschooled 2 children k-8th grade.
This is a great project to teach skills and thinking outside the box, also creativity. Way to go!!!
Baby kids so smart these days… sending prayers. ❤️🐱😇😇😇😇😇
Fortunate as a gifted teacher to have a real classroom! Rube Goldberg contraptions are so much fun!
Amazing! These students are so blessed to have such a wonderful teacher in their academic life.
Would love to see the contraptions they come up with! If any of them would be okay letting us see their project.
Looks like you have as much fun teaching those kids, as they do learning. There’s nothing like an amazing teacher in a kid’s life.

The more messier the more intelligent and creative.... Love this so much ❤❤❤

My kid loves Rube Goldberg machines!
❤ This is so awesome
Sending prayers to a wonderful teacher!!
I loved teaching all about Rube. They loved all of the pictures and examples on the internet. Messy but fun ❤
I think this gave positive memories to there education
That’s amazing! Those kiddos are so lucky to have you.
You just brought back the BEST memory of my 5th grade science teacher! She brought in so much stuff like paper towel rolls and all types of things and we spent a week crafting stand alone rube Goldberg machines! So fun!
I LOVE THIS! Prayers and thoughts for sure! You are awesome Ms. Chang!

So fun!! I did this in 9th grade science and it was one of the most memorable moments that year. Every kid should do this once
You are an amazing human, and incredibly gifted teacher!! It can't be easy....but it must be so rewarding!!...much respect 😊
You are awesome! This looks like so much fun.
Not at all
@@TerrellGarner-qs9fnwow, you’re so cool. Do you feel better now that you got some of that negativity out? ❤
You are a,remarkable teacher!!! It looks so fun!

Ah, the famous Rube Goldberg contraption! My 8th grader just built one using 3 simple machines & 20 steps! Fun, but aggravating too!
My son LOVED that stuff. Built a core memory building a roller coaster in math. Does he remember the math, probably NOT! The roller coaster- forever ❤❤
I saw dog man, and my brain got excited.
Can’t wait for the result! If you’re able to post the machines working
Genius at work!
If I would have found out I was a gifted kid sooner and learned how to do school work more fun(?) I would’ve loved you as a teacher. Your students are so lucky ❤
That was one of the best projects I ever did, required thinking out of the normal box
Oh 😂 our hearts are with you Ms Chang ❤
I gotta steal this idea how cool every teacher should allow this type of a thing
This video has made me realize that I am an A.5 teacher (I've just made up this term). I like cleanliness and order, but I could totally deal with this as long as the students took responsibility for cleaning it up when we were done and we could still move around the classroom.

They're lucky to have you!! And your nails look great! 😂
What an amazing way to teach❤
You remind me so much of a dear friend of mine, she was a carpenter who taught me the ways when I first started my career in the trades :)
The fact my teacher was talking abt one😂😂😂😂
I was in a gifted program in school and one year we made the gifted classroom into a wetland. Everyone got an animal and an object/plant/decoration to paper mache and then we made a walk through a ( “life size”) wetland. I still remember I made a panther. Took a couple weeks too. It was a fun project. I guess my teacher was also okay with a “mess” ha !
Last year my final exam for science was to build a Rube Goldberg machine. It was really fun to say the least
I mean your class is better then my class.
The subsitute almost had to call the princaple
Sending the thoughts and prayers ❤❤
Me when I check the time and im like “oops we need to get to resource NOW”
What a fun project!
Good luck 🍀
I loved doing this all 3 times we did it at my schools gifted program
What a blast!
You're the cool teacher aren't you! ❤
That sounds so fun! Id love to be a kid doing that
Love your teaching style!! I wish you were my teacher 😢😂❤
👍👍❤❤👏👏👏👏 Fantastic.
Saw Dog Man sitting on desk
So much fun!
tbh i think shes laughing so she doesn't cry
I did this in 5th grade I swear it was so much fun! Hope your students enjoy the activity ❤️
I was in the gifted program in elementary school and in 4th grade we made a miniature town run by a circuit board that we made :D
I wish I had you as a teacher in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. I would have done so much better and felt so much more accepted if you were there
Looks amazing ❤
Type a’s still do the project but I insist they clean up or at least leave a pathway before leaving for lunch or breaks. Because my ADHD could never!
I did one of those projects in 3rd grade gifted learning
I just did one for my 9th grade final!
I love this❤❤❤
I love how they're using regular household items and not an expensive kit to help the build. Seeing everyday items in a different way is fun, practical, and useful for a lifetime. Only problem is that you won't want to part with anything 😂

I just watched your video's from years ago. Oh my,the boys were adorable. Who knew Fox loved fans! You cooking or were you?? Loved

That looks like so much fun
We did this in 4th grade and I remember are room was always a mess aswell😂
Best. Teacher. Ever.
I did this in 6th grade!! Very fun
It would be so cool to see what they build
We tried that when i was in high school in peers (peers was a group where you got taken out of class to do fun stuff if you had basicly no friends from what i understood all i cared about was i missed maths on a thursday and got to go to the playpark and to see the ducks or to the shop to get snacks or do fun stuff and we had party's sometimes) but low and behold our chain reaction ended up with toothpaste everywhere as the book we used for structure fell on the toothpaste tube and it exploded
Sounds fun!

We want to see them filmed plllease
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
About 17 or 18 years ago, we did something similar however we each had a different goal that we came up we came up thats back in 3rd grade
❤❤❤❤❤prayers
That sounds incredible and fun! Couldn’t have that in my room. I’d be Godzilla in Tokyo (really horrible coordination)
We need a follow-up with the results! Please!?!?
@crest needs to sponsor you!
That is SO COOL
Epic!
I'd have killed to have a teacher like you in school. We never did anything. I was in my 3rd year of COLLEGE when our class did the egg drop experiment.... and that was for a lit class.
