Tuesday, Jan 26th ASSIGNMENT

Today you will get to apply your knowledge of energy in a fun way and Design your own Roller Coasters.

Below are links to different online roller coaster design sites. Start with the first one and then move on to the others if you have time. Make note of which designs work or don't work and why.

I will be checking your designs as you work and there may be questions on this on your next quiz.

Speaking of quizzes, you will have a QUIZ ON WORK, POWER, ENERGY this week!!

Period 1 is Thursday. Period 2 is Wednesday. You should study the Energy homework packet and your class notes.

Here are the websites for the roller coaster design project:
