Marble Roller Coaster Project Design
Before you start building plan out a design for your roller coaster.
Marble roller coaster project design. You have to experiment with different height and different loop sizes to make a good roller coaster marble run. Make sure your marble starts at the top of a hill. It is not easy to get it right the first time. Using a piece of corrugated cardboard as a base assemble your track according to your plan.
Abstract this is a really fun project even if you don t like going on roller coasters yourself. But when you get it right it can be exhilarating. Draw your design on paper. You ll build a roller coaster track for marbles using foam pipe insulation and masking tape and see how much the marble s potential energy at the beginning of the track is converted to kinetic energy at various points along the track.
This homemade roller coaster is definitely one of the most fun science projects but it is also one of the most challenging.
