Roller Coaster- Conservation of Total Mechanical Energy
This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and friction through an engaging activity of building a roller coaster. This will hone students thinking and collaboration skill as they will be given opportunities to modify and communicate their work. Furthermore, students will be exposed to collecting data such as measuring mass, distance, time, velocity and the like.
