Marble Roller Coaster Project Supplies

You can build one just for fun or do this as a science fair project.

Marble roller coaster project supplies.

However if your coaster had any sharp turns or corners your marble might have gotten stuck. But when you get it right it can be exhilarating. If you made your starting hill tall enough and all the curves and loops of your roller coaster were gradual your marble should have been able to get all the way to the end. Choose and build 4 uniquely different marble roller coasters.

Explore the elaborate mechanisms of marble coasters and build your own. This homemade roller coaster is definitely one of the most fun science projects but it is also one of the most challenging. Building a simple marble run or tube based coaster is only the beginning. Get the lesson plan and project sheet for this activity step 1.

Ideal for rapid redesigning and exploring the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and momentum. It is not easy to get it right the first time. Everything you need comes in the marble roller coaster model kit. Learn the fundamentals of engineering and marble run physics and marvel at the continuous marble motion.

Create the longest track possible without letting the marble fall off. You have to experiment with different height and different loop sizes to make a good roller coaster marble run. Get hands on exploring what kinds of loops are possible how energy changes during a ride and how the laws of motion come into play.
