Gifted Education: Learning Cause/Effect Through Chain Reactions

Help me give my students dominoes, marbles, and more to create chain reactions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harden's classroom raised $580

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In this project, my Kinder through fifth grade gifted students will learn cause and effect relationships through creating a sequence of chain reactions, using dominoes and marbles.

They will create "if / then" scenarios using Dominoes, to set up chain reactions.

They'll also create marble runs.

The domino sets, come with ramps, stairs, balls, rocket launcher, etc. for creating a Rube Goldberg chain reaction.

Students will collaborate in groups to create their chain reactions and present their project to other groups.

Students will also create a "picture" with the dominoes; when the dominoes fall, the picture is revealed.
