Marble Roller Coaster Science Fair

Abstract this is a really fun project even if you don t like going on roller coasters yourself.

Marble roller coaster science fair.

Physics projects on roller coasters for a science fair. I plan to race 10 marbles down the drop at each height and. I will try testing the drop at different heights. Fortunately you don t need a real roller coaster to learn these concepts.

In addition to the roller coaster materials you ll need a stopwatch and a heavy object. Explore the science of momentum and velocity as you create your own custom design. The point of this project is to see how high of a drop is required for a marble to loop the loop. You can build simple models out of everyday materials that demonstrate concepts such.

A steeper slope will. The marble relies on the force of gravity to speed it up as it travels down the track. What type of slope will accelerate the marble the fastest. The marble roller coaster is an open ended challenge.

Abstract if you d like to investigate the physics of amusement park rides then this project is for you. Create the longest track possible without letting the marble fall. This is a fun project where i get to build a rollercoaster out of foam pipe insulation. By jonathan morgan petrini.

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.
