Students on a roll

Newton — Eighth grade Kittatinny Kaleidoscope students explored roller coaster design through a computer simulation from the Science of Disney Imagineering, completing individual challenges to learn about momentum, g-force, and other physics concepts. They then created their own working models using cardstock, complete with loops, turns and funnels. Students learned about science and engineering as well as teamwork, problem solving and perseverance.
Similar to a marble run, but completely made out of cardstock held together by tape and designed by the inventor’s imagination. Every roller coaster was required to have at least one loop.
A creative, hands on way to learn about science. Who wouldn’t enjoy going to class?
