Kinematics is the study of motion. How are quantities like distance, time, and velocity related? What do they have to do with the ball's path and how long it takes to travel through your machine?Because of friction, your marble will always need to start slightly higher than the very top of the loop. Otherwise, it will never have enough energy to make it through the loop without stopping. Top 50 steel Roller Coasters" (PDF). Amusement Today: 14–15B. September 2003. Archived from the original (PDF) on October 19, 2013. Marble roller coasters are a hands-on way to explore the fundamental principles of physics, particularly those related to potential and kinetic energy, gravity, and friction.

In the summer of 2017, Universal announced plans to create a new Harry Potter themed coaster to replace Dragon Challenge, and by early fall the coaster began to be demolished. In 2019, the replacement coaster was finished and opened to the public.STEM activities don’t need to be boring, and by adding science and math connections, real-world applications, and STEM careers, you’ll create a deeper connection to STEM for kids. As a teacher, this is definitely an activity you can do in an hour, or you could stretch this to a 6-week long project. And as I said, adults love this challenge too, which makes it great for family nights or to showcase at different school events. If your school has a STEM Family Night, ask if your students can participate to show off their roller coaster designs. Ready to set the stage for a roller coaster STEM extravaganza?
