Music can open doors. Literally. Here's a machine that shows how.
This Rube Goldberg machine took almost 1 year to build, and 2 weeks of intense troubleshooting and filming to finish. It's amazing what one crazy musician can build in his living room.
I wanted to show my students that you can make a pretty fancy machine out of cardboard and popsicle sticks, straws and dowels, found objects, duct tape, and perseverance. Et voila!
This video is dedicated to my last year's kindergarten class, Rm. 102, for whom I was originally building it. And to Jane, who can now have her living room back.
If you have any questions, I would be delighted to answer.

Here are the lyrics, at someone's request:
Science
(Ariel Llama)
The angels are taking flash photography
Of the mountain king
No, you shouldn’t think that it is electricity, no, no
The ionizing ozonating lightning isn’t frightening
No, it’s flattering to the slightly portly king
Oh, why do you require experimental proof?
Can’t you hear the leprechauns upon the roof?
Why do you continue this reliance
On the stultifying skeptitude of science
What do you achieve in refusing to believe
You leave no room for a horse to grow a horn
You squash the world of dreams
With the extremes of your scorn
The poodles are collecting in the garden
It is hard for them not to snap at all the falling Siamese
Oh yes, the iron-fisted reign of the mountain king
It is thundering
But the blustering only happens when he sneezes
(Is) that the only way you will believe in truth?
Objective lab results which can be reproduced?
Chorus
