Roller Coaster Project

Recently in science class we started making roller coasters for a project. We had to make a roller coaster out of only the things our teacher gave us. We had to buy the supplies with our Omega money which we received from our teachers for various reasons. We used the money to buy supplies such as cardboard rolls and milk cartons. My group decided to make it only out of cardboard rolls. We had to make three hills and still make the marble travel all the way through. Sometimes our marble got stuck and we had to figure out a new way to make it sure that it made its way all the way through. Sometimes our marble would even get caught by the tape. Sometimes the marble would not be able to make its way up a hill and we would have to try to make up a new way to make it go up. I think that this project was very fun. I enjoyed making the roller coaster and thinking of new ideas to make our coaster better. It was fun to have a hands on project that we can make totally on our own. It was fun to make the coaster anyway we wanted to and it was great that we could use our imagination all we wanted for this project.
