Turn your classroom into a virtual physics lab! This Roller Coaster Physics activity uses an interactive simulator to help students visualize the invisible forces that make thrill rides possible. Instead of just reading about energy, students will manipulate variables in real-time to see how they impact a coaster’s performance. Designed by an Illinois middle-level educator (Grades 5-8), this resource focuses on the "integration of play and real-life simulations" to master the laws of thermodyna
