If you are using an online game/animation for your roller coaster, on Monday you will be given time on the laptop in the Physics Lab to make a video of your roller coaster in action.
On Tuesday we will go to the computer lab for you to view your video and come up with the explanation that you will present to the class.
On Wednesday, we will present them!
The general idea behind the assignment is:
Create a roller coaster. Use Smart Recorder to record it or save it if you can.
Present your video to the class. Pause the video as you go to explain the physics behind the motion:
Draw on the screen with the SMARTBoard

- key ideas:
- height
- velocity
- kinetic energy
- gravitational potential energy
- gravity
- use given or arbitrary values for the height to explain why the roller coaster works
