Summary
This roller coaster themed activity helps students explore how energy changes form as an object moves. Using a ramp and balls, teams design simple trials to observe motion and compare how changes like height, ramp angle, or ball type affect results. The lesson describes potential and kinetic energy, introduces energy conversion and the Law of Conservation of Energy, and emphasizes using a fair test, recording observations, and sharing conclusions with classmates.
