If you ever wanted to make one, this video, aptly titled “[How to Build a Rube Goldberg Machine](https://app.boclips.com/videos/610d44da2cc3060721c87dd9#iss=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.boclips.com%2Frealms%2Fboclips),” will show you how to build a Rube Goldberg machine. In this science video for fourth graders, learn the concept of kinetic energy and how to build a machine that will delight users and solve a simple task.   ## Parts of a Plant [![4th grade science - plants](https://www.boclips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4th%20grade%20science%20-%20plants.png?width=1456&height=810&name=4th%20grade%20science%20-%20plants.png)](https://app.boclips.com/videos/60cb6b63cb8da013af6e9ee2) You probably recently ate something that came from a plant. It could have been grains of rice, which are from seeds; you may have eaten a carrot, which is the root, chewed on celery, which is the stem, pak choi, which is leaves or maybe enjoyed some kind of fruit.   Plants come in all different shapes and sizes, but they all have several structural features in common. In this video, “[Parts of a Plant](https://app.boclips.com/videos/60cb6b63cb8da013af6e9ee2#iss=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.boclips.com%2Frealms%2Fboclips),” you’ll learn about the structural features of plants and learn to identify and describe the structural features of plants. This video explains the functions of the root system, stem, leaves, and flower in a plant and teaches how to recognize the importance of photosynthesis in plant leaves.   ## How do Bees Make Honey?  [![4th grade science - honey](https://www.boclips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4th%20grade%20science%20-%20honey.png?width=1452&height=802&name=4th%20grade%20science%20-%20honey.png)](https://app.boclips.com/videos/5c54d6fcd8eafeecae20813c)   It's time to answer one of your most asked questions: How do bees make honey?
