The PEPster GT students studied physics this year.
Logan is walking away knowing much more about physics than I do!
The students were divided into groups of three and they worked for weeks collaborating on their design. They used marbles to demonstrate the concept! Everyone's coaster was really well designed. Good Job HPEP 4th Graders!
Their assignment was to create a roller-coaster that had the following dynamics:
Highest Potential Energy
Highest Kinetic Energy
Clothoid Loops
Inertia
Centripetal Force
Angular Momentum
Friction
Linear Momentum
Acceleration
Deceleration
And obviously, Gravity
