Identity Theme Parks

To finish out our unit, students created Theme Parks that would be a metaphor of themselves. These would be the most perfect parks for the student. The ideas were SO creative!

Coaster Craze

Check out our young 5th grade engineers! They had to design a coaster that they think will be able to come to a stop at the end of the track without flying off.They tried their plan on a coaster simulator and will then be creating 3D models - all while staying under budget! Coaster Craze part 2 Using the design from the coaster simulator, students created 3D models. The challenge: Create a coaster with just enough energy (kinetic/potential) to have the train (marble) make it to the end of the track without going over. Safe brake systems and energy manipulation had to be used to survive this challenge.

Coaster Thrills!

5th grade engineers designed roller coasters today to test some physics. Take a peek!
