Consider This
In this activity, you will create a rollercoaster ride for a marble or a small ball. Using paper, craft materials, recyclables, and other objects around you, create a rollercoaster ride! You can use gravity as your source of energy by starting at a high point, and ending at a low point. What could you make the marble do? Ramp? Even a loop de loop!?!
Key Terms
gravity: (noun) physical force by which objects attract, or pull toward, each other. the earth is very large and therefore has a strong gravitational pull, that's why when you drop an object it falls to the floor
motion: (noun) a change in position compared to a place or an object that is not moving
energy: (noun) capacity to do work
inclined plane: (noun) sloping surface used for raising heavy bodies. it is easier to push a heavy object up a slope than to lift it
