Thrill Ride Constructor STEM Kit

Students will design a solution to investigate how changes in track design and height impact the speed and motion of a roller coaster, aiming for both thrill and safety. They will explore the relationships between potential and kinetic energy, gravity, and friction, and develop strategies to optimize the roller coaster's performance based on experimental data.

Grade Level(s): Elementary & Middle School (ages 7 - 14) 

This kit is designed for individual use, encouraging students to explore and innovate at their own pace.

The kit includes:

• A step-by-step video tutorial link
• Illustrated instructions
• All necessary materials to complete the Wooden Roller Coaster project, including track pieces and marbles.
• Additional challenges to extend learning and encourage design optimization
