In this self-paced multimedia tutorial for middle school, students develop literacy skills as they explore kinetic and potential energy in a roller coaster.
In this hands-on activity for grades 7-9, students build a physical model of a roller coaster with foam pipe insulation and marbles. Includes assessments, rubric, and worksheet.
The Easy Java Simulations Modeling and Authoring Tool is needed to explore the computational model used in the Roller Coaster.
This resource allows this derived works to be created, that has drag force, graphical representations of v vs t and E vs t.
Thanks Micheal Gallis & Wolfgang Christian!
The Roller Coaster Model simulates the energy transfer between kinetic and potential energy; both types of energy are covered in Physlet Physics chapter 7.
