Roller Coaster STEM

Roller Coaster STEM

We ended the year with a fantastic STEM activity.  Following the Engineering Design Process we learned about potential and kinetic energy.  Designing a roller coaster for our marbles came next.  We built and then timed our marbles.  Next came the redesigns to make our marbles roll faster.  We did all the steps while synergizing (working together)  with each other. I have attached a link for other STEAM (langauge arts added) activities that you can do at home this summer. https://www.steampoweredfamily.com/activities/summer-stem-activities/
