Marble roller coaster project supplies.

The marble roller coaster is an open ended challenge. Roller coasters and marble runs offer an engaging platform for invention engineering and physics based investigation. However if your coaster had any sharp turns or corners your marble might have gotten stuck. Get the lesson plan and project sheet for this activity step 1.

Ideal for rapid redesigning and exploring the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and momentum. Build a marble roller coaster from foam pipe insulation in this fun science project. Choose and build 4 uniquely different marble roller coasters. This homemade roller coaster is definitely one of the most fun science projects but it is also one of the most challenging.

You can build one just for fun or do this as a science fair project. Building a simple marble run or tube based coaster is only the beginning. Create the longest track possible without letting the marble fall off. Explore the elaborate mechanisms of marble coasters and build your own.

Learn the fundamentals of engineering and marble run physics and marvel at the continuous marble motion. It is not easy to get it right the first time. But when you get it right it can be exhilarating.
