These materials will be used for a STEM science unit on force and motion. This will build many educational skills but also team building skills. We will plan out each part of the roller coasters being built, starting with each team coming up with a design team name and logo. Each team will then plan out their roller coaster on paper before jumping in and building. Once they have worked as a team to plan their coaster they will then be able to start building as a team. They will also be applying prior knowledge of the scientific method to help with this project. I am so excited for my students to work together to build these great coasters that they design and being able to see it truly come to life.
