Students in Miss Stonelake’s 9th grade Physical Science class were asked to create roller coaster replicas as part of a class project that they presented to their fellow students on Thursday, June 6. Aaron Glancy and Quinn Schrag created a roller coaster with the “Avengers” theme. Max Bai, pictured above, built his roller coaster around a red, white, and blue USA theme. Cole Lewis and Asher Dawkins used Pompeii as the design theme for their coaster.
The students were required to include hills, loops, decorations, and a vehicle that can travel through the entire coaster without stopping. Stonelake said the assignment helped the students apply what they had learned about energy conversion, friction, and the law of conservation of energy.
