Have you ever basked in the excitement that is watching a Rube Goldberg-like contraption unfold? Well; now you can build one of your own while learning all about the physics behind it!
Using over thirty LEGO elements; plus a few rolling spheres; you get to build ten brilliant contraptions that all come together to create an amazing chain reaction.
Page by page; detailed instructions
help you perfectly build each mechanism while learning how and why everything works.
Send a tire spinning around a pole to launch a hammer and lift a sign. Spin a windmill to keep the ball rolling and then start a reaction that zig-zags upwards.
Build a pulley that launches a ball; a wild spinning vortex; and an amazing zig-zag finish line!
Then; once you've finished building everything; put it all together and watch as it spins; pivots; rolls; lifts; and drops all in one amazing; continuous motion!
Who cares if it doesn't do anything useful? The fun is in watching it all go!
Designed and written by a genius team of experts; educators; and 11-year-olds; the LEGO Chain Reactions kit opens up children to just how amazing physics can be.
