Make sure your marble starts at the top of a hill.
Marble roller coaster project design.
Draw your design on paper.
It is not easy to get it right the first time.
Before you start building plan out a design for your roller coaster.
Abstract this is a really fun project even if you don t like going on roller coasters yourself.
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.
You ll build a roller coaster track for marbles using foam pipe insulation and masking tape and see how much of an initial drop is required to get the marble to loop the loop.
This homemade roller coaster is definitely one of the most fun science projects but it is also one of the most challenging.
Abstract if you d like to investigate the physics of amusement park rides then this project is for you.
You have to experiment with different height and different loop sizes to make a good roller coaster marble run.
