Marble roller coaster project with 2 hills and 2 drops.
Converting potential energy to kinetic energy physics project guides students through construction and the tracking of potential energy as it is converted to kinetic energy during a marble s path from start to finish.
The lesson plan difficulty.
How to build a marble roller coaster.
The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Background roller coasters rely on two types of energy to operate.
Then it drops down the other side of the hill and starts going very fast as its height rapidly decreases.
The same tubing can be used to investigate the math upon which coaster loops depend.
This process repeats as the coaster goes through hills loops twists and turns.
Marble roller coasters are fun and easy to build.
Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
Arrange plenty of space in your room cleanup.
This project has a few things that help this work.
The roller coaster marbles.
Then have everyone gently take apart only their own roller coaster and clump all the used tape into a giant tape ball start of class lecture.
The marble roller coaster is an open ended challenge.
Allow 2 minutes near end of class for students to try each others coasters.
If the marbles are flying off of hills or bumps in the track.
The foam tubing roller.
Build your own marble roller coaster in this project and find out.
3 different camera angles.
Loops corkscrews sharp turns and big drops make the perfect ingriedients for an awsome marble track.
Pick a place pick a place to set up the project that will let you modify it without any problems and will be out of the way of foot traffic.
Whenever it goes up it.
Create the longest track possible without letting the marble fall off.
Numerous different shots of the track.
Identify the two parts.
Make the track make the track.
Design a custom marble roller coaster using these materials and enjoy the twists and turns as you set the marble flying.
