Project history

The European Chain Reaction 2012

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 compete 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 Belgium managed to win the competition by creating this chain reaction!

In 2013 we will have a third 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!

Croatia

Hi from Zadar, an ancient, 3 thousand old Mediterrannean beauty on the Adriatic coast. The main part of Zadar is our peninsula that is surrounded by medieval walls. Apart from many churches, museums, galleries...there are two modern tourist attractions: 'Greetings to the sun' and 'Sea organs' (music is produced by the waves). Our Bartula kasica Primary school is situated in the suburbs of Zadar. There are about one thousand students (aged 7 to 4) who attend school in 2 shifts.They teach English as the first foreign language from the first grade, but can choose Italian or German in the grade 4. We are happy to offer our pupils the chance to meet their international pals through many eTwinning projects we take part in as much as by taking part in Comenius Project.
