While learning about force and motion, we decided it was the perfect time to engage students in another design engineering challenge. Students worked in design teams to research, plan, and create their own roller coaster - one that was designed for speed, height, and length. Drawing conclusions about the data they collected was an added challenge, including choosing suitable graphic depictions to display their data. Talk about critical thinking! For a fun literacy twist, we then asked students to create advertisements for their roller coasters. These kids sure know how to market and sell their products to thrill-seeking customers! Names like Death Trap, Heart Dropper, and Torment Falls are sure to grab your attention. It was a wild and exciting ride!
