Synthesizing and Evaluating
As we read, we bring together ideas and information from both the text and from what we already know—this is called synthesizing. We also evaluate information and make decisions based on whether the information is supported by evidence and by what we already know.
1 Read the background information on Rube Goldberg. Then read and follow the diagram of Rube’s machine. With a partner, discuss whether the machine is effi cient or not, and why. Give evidence to support your decision.

HOW TO LOAD A GOLF BALL ON A TEEThe golfer holds up a carrot, which excites rabbit (A) who spins a cage that lifts a panel (B) to show the cat to the bird. Attached to a string, its flight turns on the lamp switch (C). The light from the lamp shines through the magnifying glass (D) burning through the string holding the specially weighted tee (E), which drops and sticks into the ground (F). At the same time, the rabbit (A) also spins the boot (G), which kicks the mass (H). The swinging mass pulls the lever on the gumball machine (I), releasing a golf ball, which rolls down to the tee (J).
