Try this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_reaction. Wikipedia or an actual encyclopedia is always a good first choice to look something specific like that up, as long as you're certain you're spelling it right.

I have to agree, Wikipedia is a bit steep with the definition.istinkatscience_kitty93 wrote: i need to know what a cascade reaction is for my project but the internet is....

Think of the domino effect—you knock one domino over and all the others lined up behind it get knocked over in a sequence.
Now imagine that you have several rows of dominos and each row has several rows beyond that. That would be a cascade reaction—one change causes a change in many dominos or in the case of chemistry or biochemistry many molecules.
In living organisms one tiny change can set off a chain reaction of many more changes throughout the organism.
This is how hormones work.
Hope that helps.
