Physics and Science of Theme Parks

Help me give my students science tools for multiple projects, Including Theme Park Design and Creation.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Owens's classroom raised $945

This project is fully funded

My Project

Along with the help of Disney Imagineers, Science is Cool and PocketLab, I have designed a Theme Park Project that will teach students the art and science behind what makes a theme park work!

With these tools students will be able to design and build their own Theme Park, design and build their own theme park ride or attraction.

Study the physics behind theme park attractions and study the effects of weather and climate on Theme Parks. Students will also be able to use these tools for multiple other projects through out the school year, like studying the impacts of magnetic fields, climate and weather changes and physics behind force and motion.
