Roller Coaster Lab

Have you ever wanted to design a roller coaster?  Ms. Hammari's classes recently put their knoweldge of potential and kinetic energy to the test designing the most extreme roller coasters possible.  Instead of metal and wheels the students used tubing and a ball bearing to test their designs.  Their goal was to get the ball bearing to the end of the "roller coaster" using the force of gravity and fighting the effect of friction.  We are so proud of our students and the creativity they demonstrate through all their projects here at MJHS!
