Program Description

Description

Let's explore chain reactions by simply weaving jumbo popsicle sticks together, that creates tension, and when you take one of the sticks out, it releases potential energy and makes it pop up in the air a few feet high.   See if you can challenge yourself to create the longest chain reaction and watch what happens.   Recommended for students going into 6th grade and above.
