Belgium presents: The Belgian Technical Chain Reaction 2013

Hi to all you Einsteins,

Belgium proudly presents its technical chain reaction 2013!

In the last couple of weeks 33 junior-scientists have been working hard to create this chain and we hope you will like it!

Of course you will also have learned a lot about science in the last couple of weeks while building your own chain reaction and that's why we are very curious to see if you are smart enough to figure out how the submarine used in this chain reaction works. This submarine was homemade by a team of 4 students under the guidance of a skillful dad. Who will be the first to write down correctly in a comment how this submarine works?

We hope you will have as much joy watching this chain reaction as we had creating it!

We look forward a lot to watching all your chain reactions!

Best wishes for 2013!

The Belgian Team

Croatian human chain reaction in 2 versions

Hello, dear partners!

We've decided to present a compilation of our two different body chain reactions: one, recorded 3 months ago in the Zadar centre (outside), the other in front of our School Nativity scene and our Christmas tree!
Yes, we are also one year older, but, as you may recognise, these are girls of 13 who could only join this school year. We're planning to involve the children aged 9-10 in the Technical chain reaction 2013.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a joyful New 2013!

The Human Chain reaction from Finland!

We have had very busy weeks lately and somebody has been sick every day. That's why we waited until the last day before filming this. Unfortenately three pupils were still absent today! But we did this with the rest of the class anyway! Hope you enjoy the film with a lot of snow and some elves!

Greetings from Ohkola school in Mäntsälä, Finland!

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.
