Have you ever wondered how they design and build those crazy roller coasters and other amusement park rides? We’ll design, construct, and test loop-the-loops using Hot Wheels, marble catchers, and a host of materials. Students will observe first-hand a model Ferris Wheel in action as well as other amusement rides to see how they work. This is the way to experiment and build as you learn physics concepts in a fun and activity-based atmosphere!
