Chain Reaction

We have had such fun experimenting with this chain reaction set we got for Christmas.

It definitely requires patience, as you have to get it just right, but I love the experimenting with friction, motion, and speed that goes along with multiple trials.  We  use our kitchen table, and just used a pool noodle cut to fit the sides as a "bumper" to keep the balls from rolling off.  It worked great!  Good thing I always have pool noodles on hand as you never know when you will need five to make a table bumper.
