PRESENTATION OUTLINE
PINKY PAPER ROLLER COASTER
Ask
Using one sheet of poster board, can I design a creative roller coaster that safely carries a marble from start to finish in the fastest time possible?
Kinetic and potential energy also is the science. The science is that the kinetic energy is when the roller coaster is going fast and is moving. The potential energy is when the roller coaster just stops, and has no more energy.
MATERIALS
- Poster board
- Masking tape and stapler
- Plastc cup
- Marble
- Scissors
Real life Connection
My results would tell me how long it took the roller coaster to get from start to finish. Someone who would need the results would be a roller coaster engineer.
