Building the
Popsicle Stick Chain Reaction!
Materials
-
Jumbo Popsicle or Craft Sticks
-
Some Patience
Procedure
-
Download the PDF Worksheet for this experiment to see a series of photos that will help you build your chain reaction. Following the guide, you can make your reaction as big or as little as you want, repeating it until you run out of space or popsicle sticks!
-
Remember to keep pressure on the final stick you add or the reaction might happen before you're ready. If it does, don't worry, just be patient and start again.
-
After you've built the pattern, let go of the final stick and watch the reaction!
This experiment is great for Beginner Explorers
and uses household items.
