Students worked together to discuss motion, force, and energy. Students started the project with JASON roller coasters to decide how kinetic and potential energy reacts with loops, inclines, and declines.
Students then received materials that were allowed and had to design and construct a roller coaster that a marble could travel through from the beginning to the end in one trial. |
Team OneConstructing notecards into rectangular prisms to use as supports.
|
Team TwoDeciding on how to use the foam and wooden dowels successfully to allow enough support to have the roller coaster remain standing.
|
Team ThreeAdded numerous rectangular prisms for structure but ran out of time and added the wooden dowels.
