Roller Coaster- Force, Motion and Energy Engineering Project
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.

Students use the engineering design process to create paper rocket protoypes and complete a cost-benefit analysis to help choose the best one.
Students will first build and collect data on how fast their solar car is. Then students can change items to increase the efficiency of the solar panel to increase the overall speed of the solar car.
This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple
