What do I KNOW? I now that roller coasters involve use gravity, stored energy, and energy in action. What did I LEARN? I learned that designing a roller coaster looks like it is so easy you just make a bunch of dips and loops and its a roller coaster. It really isn't that simple making a roller coaster. There is a lot of science to it and unless you get really lucky you won't get it on your first try. | What do I WANT to know?I want to know exactly how roller coasters work and I want to experience making one. What ACTION did I take? I designed and tested my own roller coaster design and made a website about it. | HOW will I find out? I will research how roller coasters work then find a good website that actually involves energy not just a preschool game. What QUESTIONS do I still have? I want to know if there are any other good websites, programs, and apps. I really want to find a good for roller coaster designing. |
I learned that creating a roller coaster isn't that easy it is really hard and involves lots of science. I honestly thought that for this project I would just make a few hills and be done. My favorite part surprisingly wasn't it was having my friend watch me and saying this is gonna be the one I know it. I was the most fun because I was so close I would jump out of my seat every time I got close. The hardest part was staying motivated after I failed again and again and again and again well you get the point. I got really discouraged after like 18 tries but my friend made me keep on pushing through. Some advice for anyone else doing this project is not to bother with the games where you just draw a track to earn gems and/or coins because those games have no value and I didn't use them because of their lack of quality.
