Hello Giovanna @ children,
We like the idea of making a film from the top as everything is visible from the first glance.

Best regards from Poland.

Project History

The European Chain Reaction 2011

The European Chain reaction is a European Quality Label winning eTwinning project that was first organised in 2011.

The project is a contest and a European collaboration between primary schools from as many as possible European countries.

In the contest primary schools compeet for the honour and a nice trophy: Which country builds and films the most astonishing and creative Rube Goldberg / Robert Storm Petersen chain reaction? The competing children are the only judges in this game!

In the end all videos will be edited to ONE BIG CROSS BORDER EUROPEAN CHAIN REACTION! (European Chain Reaction 2011 video)

In 2011 Germany was the outstanding winner of this fun science competition. They made this absolutely amazing video and they learned a lot about pulleys, chains, levers, ...

In 2012 we will have a second edition of the project. We would like to find some extra schools to participate!

Isn't your country mentioned on this blog and your primary school want to join this amazing science competition? Please contact dave at qworzo dot be or find us at the eTwinningforum!

To all joining us: have a "scientific experience" and let's all hope the best Einsteins may win!
