Reflection Questions:

  1. Describe your project (hint: refer to the “Crazy Coasters!” informative sheet/rubric).

  2. What were at least 4 different requirements/parts that you included in your coaster?

  3. What three forces are acting on the marble as it travels through the roller coaster?

  4. How could you increase the coaster’s potential energy?

  5. If you could go back in time and give yourself a hint before beginning your build, what would you recommend? Would you make any changes to your design?
