I am the Author, and I want to comment on my book. I am the Publisher, and I want to comment on this book. LEGO Chain Reactions is packed full of ideas, instructions, and inspiration for 10 LEGO machines that spin, swing, pivot, roll, lift, and drop. Each machine alone is awesome, but put them together and you get incredible chain reactions. Then, combine the machines in any order you like to create your own chain reactions.A team of experts worked with educators and 11-year-olds to invent the machines, then wrote a book that teaches the skills (and some of the physics behind the fun) kids need to create their own amazing chain reaction machines.Our book includes 33 special LEGO elements that combine with basic bricks from your collection to make your machines go. But don't worry that you won't have the right bricks; we worked with the folks at LEGO to make sure you'll need only the most common bricks, and that there are plenty of substitutes. es with: 78 page book, 33 LEGO elements, 6 LEGO balls, 6 feet of string, 8 paper ramps, 2 paper pop-up signs, 1 paper funnel ramp, 1 paper flag, 1 paper bucket, 1 platformAge Recommendation: Ages 8 and up

From my experiences with the WeDo set and the Simple Machines curriculum, they are definitely worth the time and money. But they aren’t cheap, and it takes a while to get through the material. Great for homeschooling, but not necessarily for every family’s situation. Fortunately, Klutz has put out a couple of books that are better for a conventional educational LEGO gift for your kids. Several years ago, they came out with LEGO Crazy Action Contraptions, and now they have LEGO Chain Reactions by Pat Murphy. Think Rube Goldberg devices, but with LEGO. My kids recently spent some quality time with the book while I watched and made “helpful” suggestions. (They did fine without me.) The first project, Machine No. 1–Quintopple, starts you out making a multi-part contraption using only pieces included in the book. Paper, string, a ball, and LEGO pieces create a contraption powered by gravity which, if it’s put together correctly, pops up a sign at the end of the track.
As you get into Machine No. 2–Dominoes, you need to provide some of your own LEGO bricks to make larger and larger domino-type structures, which you will then knock down. Later projects add more ramps, pulleys, many extra LEGO pieces, and a lot more steps. By the end of the book, kids can use what they know and invent their own contraptions, limited only by their LEGO collection. Each of the ten projects in the book has clear, step-by-step directions to build the component parts, a procedure to follow for beginning the movement of the contraption, and a scientific explanation of what is happening and what is being learned in that chapter. The book also comes with the paper ramps, signs, and more, along with 20 specialized LEGO pieces that you aren’t likely to have all of in your collection. Several of the projects also require you to use basic items from your own house, such as a book, and basic LEGO pieces from your collection. What did we think of this book? We liked it a lot.
