Summary "What if you could challenge your kindergartners to create a mini roller coaster? Physics in Motion turns a fun building project into an opportunity to investigate concepts such as energy, gravity, friction, and speed. Students will use the engineering design process while working collaboratively to design, build, and test marble track roller coasters. They will measure, compare, and evaluate numbers related to their project. They'll use technology to do research and demonstrate their awareness of motion-related concepts. They'll even craft a plan for making the roller coaster part of a theme park and then create a flyer to advertise it. The module is an entry point for students to explore the physics of motion through play and then decide which roller coaster design is best"-- Provided by publisher
