Yesterday in 311 the students went on a wild ride! To finish up our unit on energy, students worked with their energy groups to design and create their very own rollercoaster. They had the task of creating one rollercoaster with a hill and another with a loop, all groups had great success! Previous to building the rollercoasters, students practiced their design skills on a game called Coaster Creator. Their experience with creating enough potential and kinetic energy on the game certainly carried over the next day and was evident in their rollercoaster designs. I saw great problem solving skills among the groups to trouble shoot any unforeseen issues. They had to put their knowledge to the test and as an end result they are now able to call themselves professional coaster creators! ~Ms. Duarte If you would like to go through the loops with your child, try out Coaster Creator.
