Engineering an Energetic Roller Coaster Part 4
by Aimee Katz
In this lesson students will research different roller coasters then work in groups design and build a roller coaster using pipe insulation and tape. Students will then analyze their roller coaster and discuss where the potential and kenetic energy is found on their rollar coaster.
