Lesson Plan

Serc: Investigating Speed and Velocity

Curated by ACT

In this investigation, students will work in groups to design a model roller coaster, which will be used to clock the fastest speed for the rider (ball bearing/marble) The groups will build roller coaster models and modify and adjust them to find the design that will produce the optimum speed. Students will create a data collection sheet to record their tests so that it can be shared with the class as well as drawing a detailed diagram of their model.
