Roller Coaster Force and Motion PBL | Project Based Learning Science Enrichment

Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach about different force and motion or Newton's Laws of Motion?

This project allows students to learn about friction, interia, gravity, speed, momentum, and much more by designing their own roller coaster!

What is project based learning?

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a hands-on way for students to learn as they design, build, and/or research a solution to reach the project's goal or a solution.

The project is broken into parts so students can easily stay on track. An instruction and note taking page are included. The product also includes a rubric, peer review forms, and pictures of student's examples.

Here's how it works:

In this project they will imagine, design, and create a marble roller coaster by examining the different factors that will make the marble roll over two hills.

Topics in this product include:

• force
• motion
• friction
• interia
• gravity
• speed
• momentum

Options for uses:

Since the instructions are so easy for students to understand, it can be given to students who need may not need direct instruction, homework, used as sub plans, maternity leave plans, or test prep.
