A huge well done to P6M on their effective paired and group work to create a chain reaction using forces.

What is a Chain Reaction?
A Chain Reaction is a sequence of little events where one object hits another object to create a reaction.  We can say that the force we show one thing is going to pass onto the next thing. The energy is passed on from one object to the next.

The pupils used their subject knowledge of forces to build multi-level chain reactions using a number of different elements to showcase gravity using a zipline or downward ball roll/steps, a push using the see-saw method or a beebot, a pull using string attached to a beebot.

The pupils had to build, trial and amend their chain reactions to make sure that enough energy was created to keep the chain reaction going.   There was lots of purposeful talk, problem solving and resilience required in this challenge!
