Rad Roller Coasters Part 2: Calculations and Presentations
by Tessa Cassano
Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy. Groups will then create a stats poster for their coaster to be displayed along side their build.
