In Class Response: Roller Coaster/ Skate Park Project

In science class we are doing a project were each group has to make a roller coaster or a skate park. My group, decided to make a roller coaster called The Robozinator. This project is to show us kinetic energy and to teach us how it is formed. If you drop a marble from a higher/steeper point than a lower point, the marble will pick up more speed and go faster, making it able to do loops if it picks up enough speed. Our strategy is to make a steep beginning for our roller coaster so the rest of the coaster is easier for the marble to travel through.
