This week's challenge is to build a chain reaction machine with items you have around the house. A chain reaction machine is a machine that has a series of actions and reactions. Unlike the marble run, you don't have a single object move through the whole machine, instead one item reacts to an action made by another item - on down the line. The more actions/reactions, the more interesting the machine. I want you to list the actions/reactions for me when you send me your machine, I'll show an example below. Here's what I made. From items in my house. Here's a slo-mo video of my chain reaction machine at work. Mrs. Bisson's Chain Reaction Machine:
Please send me a list like this with the video of your chain reaction machine. You can email me your video and list to [email protected]. This challenge was inspired by the Exploratorium and they are collecting chain reaction videos. If a parent is willing, you can tweet your video using the hashtags #RoundTheWorld_ChainReaction and #sfbrandeismakes. It's also worth a little Twitter time to see what other folks have come up with. Their are some amazing ideas! OPtional Lesson extensions
