Paper Roller Coaster Project Grades 5-8
I developed this project when I was tired of the typical PE/Work lab where students climb the stairs. It's my best selling item for high schoolers for a reason. It's fun for students, the only real cost is for masking tape and or hot glue, and it's easy to grade. This product has been written for grades 5-8. Depending on your schedule, it can fill 3-5 class periods. Students discuss potential and kinetic energy, then calculate the average velocity of the marble while in the coaster and on exit
