      What is a Rube Goldberg Machine?

      A Rube Goldberg machine is a mechanism made up of simple parts that work together in a chain reaction to accomplish a simple task at the end. They require creativity, ingenuity, and physics! 

      Why get this kit?

      This chain reaction kit demonstrates many different concepts of physics. We students at Iowa State University, developed worksheets and a booklet that work together to facilitate learning while having fun! This kit is ideal for introducing and reinforcing a basic understanding of physics as well as providing many hours of creativity. Become passionate for STEM!

      Endless creativity in one box!

      This kit is amazing. My kids spent hours building and rebuilding different chain reactions — and honestly, I joined in too! It’s super hands-on and teaches real physics concepts without feeling like school. The booklet was helpful and easy to follow. Total win for STEM learning!

      Perfect mix of fun and learning

      I used this with my 5th grade science class and it was a *hit*. The Rube Goldberg-style setup got everyone thinking creatively, and I loved how it naturally incorporated lessons on motion, force, and simple machines. The worksheets online were a great bonus. Highly recommend for any classroom!

      So fun, just needed more tape!

      My son loved building a chain reaction with this kit — it’s packed with creative pieces and sparks tons of ideas. We did run out of tape a little faster than expected, so we had to grab some extra from our drawer. Otherwise, it was awesome. Definitely a great way to learn while playing.

      Like LEGOs meets physics!

      Got this for my nephew and he *loved* it. It’s kind of like LEGOs but more chaotic and way more fun. The parts are super varied — Hot Wheels, marbles, dominoes, balloons — it’s like a dream kit for building stuff that moves and crashes and flies. He’s already asking for more kits!

      Great for parents and kids to build together

      My daughter and I built a full chain reaction setup over the weekend and had the *best* time. The materials are high-quality and there’s a TON of variety — we didn’t even use everything the first time. Definitely encourages problem-solving and creative thinking.
