Roller Coaster Engineering Project | Energy, Forces & Motion | NGSS | Grades 6–8
Does your class need a project that gets students genuinely excited about physics? This multi-week roller coaster engineering project challenges student teams to design and build a marble-run prototype for a fictional Six Flags client — applying real concepts of potential energy, kinetic energy, forces, motion, Newton's Laws, and speed calculations the whole way through. It's hands-on, standards-aligned, and built for the real classroom. WHAT'S INCLUDED (19 pages):KWL Warm-Up: Energy & Roller
