Marble Roller Coaster Project Supplies

Ideal for rapid redesigning and exploring the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and momentum.

Marble roller coaster project supplies. You can build one just for fun or do this as a science fair project. Learn the fundamentals of engineering and marble run physics and marvel at the continuous marble motion. 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. But when you get it right it can be exhilarating.

Everything you need comes in the marble roller coaster model kit. Choose and build 4 uniquely different marble roller coasters. It is not easy to get it right the first time. However if your coaster had any sharp turns or corners your marble might have gotten stuck.

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. The marble roller coaster is an open ended challenge. Get the lesson plan and project sheet for this activity step 1.

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. Build a marble roller coaster from foam pipe insulation in this fun science project.
