Roller Coasters Physics Fun!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Littig's classroom raised $389
This project is fully funded
My Project
Students remember things when they create it for themselves. We always say, “hands on, minds on.” We are an art school who does great science projects. We put all of their skills together for this one and get amazing results. It takes a couple of weeks but this is one project they will never forget.
The students design a roller coaster which must perform loops, jumps, turns and a goal. They must calculate force, acceleration and speed on their lab sheet. Another important part is designing the theme. Kids can go any direction and they really have great ideas.
This classroom project was brought to life by San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)
and one other donor.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
