Description:
The Whitney Relay is a set of interconnectable parts that lets students master the art and science of energy transfer in the tradition of the Rube Goldberg Machine or its contemporary Japanese masterpiece: the Pythagoras Switch. Each student receives ramps, marbles, blocks, and assorted parts to construct a chain reaction that could include your whole class—thoughtful lessons in mechanics, invention, and teamwork.
