Designing a Roller Coaster using the Law of Conservation of Energy
In this great hands on activity students will need to follow the Law of Conservation of Energy to create blueprints to their own roller coaster. The students will need to calculate the over all mass, height, PE and KE of their roller coaster at various spots long it's path while keeping in mind their linear blueprints must be to scale, in color and very accurate. This document has everything you need to help your students master these skills. All you need to do is help your students bring the

Marble Roller Coaster Activity
Building and designing a marble roller coaster.
This is a great activity for motion and forces for middle and high school students.
Students use foam pipe insulation to design a roller coaster with hills, a loop and a curve.
Students must problem solve to overcome the forces of gravity and centripetal forces to get a marble to the end of the track.
Students also measure and calculate speed and acceleration at different points within the roller coaster.
