Roller
Coasters

These pages were designed to help 5th graders explore concepts of motion and design.

Students experiment with different forces to make a roller coaster operate.

One extension of this is to design a coaster that stays on the track and completes the run in the least time. Students I have worked with have gotten it down to 28 seconds.
