Chain Reaction Science Competition
We help you
We don’t leave you alone during the planning and the working period either. We support your preparation and practical work
with the following materials:
Chain Reaction User Manual
The Chain Reaction User Manual, which you are
reading right now, is an official helping material
of the Chain Reaction Science Competition. It contains short,
illustrated descriptions of physical and chemical experiments,
which your team can use in the Chain Reaction machine. Read
and improve them, plan how they can be connected to each
other, and find out new reactions as well.
Experiment videos on CHEMGENERATION.COM
Videos of the experiments described in this manual
can be watched on the CHEMGENERATION.COM
website. Physical and chemical experiments are clearly shown
step by step in slow motion as well so that you can observe
every detail. The videos can also give ideas about how to
connect certain experiments to each other.
The User Manual can be downloaded as a printable electronic
document in .PDF file format from the following page:

Safety instructions
Careful use of equipments
All physical and chemical experiments require attention and caution. All equipments and tools have to be used in the proper way.
Don’t give tools of the Magic Box to young children, only you and the members of your team are allowed to use them. Always work
accurately, in a clean environment.
Chemistry Experiments: only under the supervision of a teacher
During the implementation of chemistry experiments described in this manual, you can get in contact with various chemicals,
some of which are hazardous to health or the environment. For this reason, all experiments have to be carried out according to
chemical safety legislation. It is important to know that experiments indicated with red warnings in this manual can be carried out
with proper precautions only under the strict supervision of a teacher. Don’t try chemical experiments at home!
