In class for the past week, we have been learning about Newton's Laws. We started collected money(fake money to "buy" supplies). Since Monday, we have built a roller coaster following the requirements below:
-at least 4 hill(must go up than down)
-must have one roller-coaster element(loop, bend, etc.)
-must have kinetic energy and potential energy labeled at their highest points
-must have a group name(ours is the Speed Demon!:])
Today we finished. It has met all of the requirements and is able to carry a marble all the way through. In case you didn't know, I have included some websites for you to learn about the key terms I have bolded. I too have just learned of what these words mean.
