Our First Roller Coasters

We want to thank Mr. Holcom from Domtar for coming into our Roller Coaster Science class. We learned what an engineer can do and what it takes to be an engineer when we go to college. We had 20 minutes to build a roller coaster out of a piece of poster board and tape. We got a tray to land our passengers on which were marbles and golf balls. 5/6 roller coasters build were safe and successful. Way to go! Take a look at our coasters!






We can't wait until the next class to add to our engineering portfolio! We sure are picking up the concept of momentum, acceleration, potential and kinetic energy in a hands on way!
