Kinetic Sculpture Challenge
We're John, Elly, Nick and Linnea--and we're the F.A.T. 4! What's that? We're an engineering squad that's participating in the MIT Museum's annual Friday after Thanksgiving Chain Reaction event. It's a crazy science fun-for-all where teams of inventors create kinetic sculptures of everyday items. All the teams hook their chain reactions together for one, big extravaganza. Our question: How can we make a cool chain reaction?

How would you investigate this question?
Are you ready to get creative? The materials used by the F.A.T. 4 to build their kinetic sculpture are available everywhere. So go ahead and design your own chain-reaction project. Describe your sculpture in your notebook and discuss it with your teacher, or go to Kinetic Sculpture Challenge to learn more about what John, Elly, Nick and Linnea built.
