About This Item
Description
Send the steel ball bearing through hoops and loops and watch potential energy convert to kinetic energy with this roller coaster kit! Rollercoasters are one of the best ways to see the interplay between potential and kinetic energy. This kit is the perfect choice for both students and educators. Compete with friends to create the most loop de loops, the fastest or slowest coaster, or develop educational challenges for students -- the options are endless! Use household item such as chairs and tables to devise complex routes to explore different ways to manipulate the results of your coaster (and your study)! The interplay between potential and kinetic energy has never been more fun! Required but not included: A piece of scratch paper (US Letter or A4 size is sufficient) and a pair of scissors. Also will need tape (any kind) and 2 tin cans per class (any size).Features
