Classroom rollercoaster

Hello and welcome to my mini blog post about a rollercoaster we made in class. Our goal of this assignment was to create a rollercoaster with classroom materials under a budget of 1,000,000 dollars. You had to score the most points to be able to have your coaster in scream-o-rama. You would score points by having the most thrilling coaster. For instance a loop or a corkscrew would be 5 points and so on. We also had to explain where the most potential and kinetic energy was. My group won the contest with a total score of 24 points. Ours was very unstable but we were lucky enough to get it to work first try in front of the judges.
