Great to see your kids in action again, Aurelia!
I noticed you used the gas state of matter for both the beginning and the end of your chain reaction.

Project history

The European Chain Reaction 2013

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 Norway was crowned the ECR-2013 winner as they made this feel-good and up tempo chain reaction!

In 2014 we will have a fourth 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 wants 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 "sciencerrific experience" and let's all hope the best young Einsteins may win!

Batumi Public School N2

The older history thing has, the richer it is. We are proud of our school, because of its eternal history. More than hundred years ago, in Soviet times, in Batumi it was very difficult to set up any new educational establishment, but local community could manage to base women’s gymnasium. In the course of time the gymnasium turned into mixed-gendered public school. Nowadays, the school is divided into two parts. The first one is old historical campus, which was reconstructed, and the second is modern one. Our school has two gyms (but we would like it to be better equipped) the computers class, the biology and chemistry labs. Here you can meet students from all religion confessions and also students with special needs. In the second public school, there are several kinds of clubs where students have possibility to demonstrate their leadership potential. (Such as evil club, drama club, intellectual club etc.) In addition, since 2005 students have great opportunity to participate in all kind of exchange programs all over the world that gives magnificent experience for our pupils to get in touch with European culture and become a part of it.
