Roller Coaster- Force, Motion and Energy Engineering Project
by Amanda Roum
Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this. Through this process they will be encouraged to think creatively.
