I learned a lot about physics in this unit and because of this project. I learned about Newton's Laws, potential and kinetic energy and what g-forces really are. Something I'd do differently is starting to work on decorations earlier because we were kind of rushed at the end because we had only been working on the roller coasted itself. I really enjoyed this project and would do it again, with Cole. I do feel kind of proud of the roller coaster and this was fun.

Physics Project Reflection #3
I feel that our progress has been good so far and that we're well off. Inertia has been a big part of our roller coaster because it's everywhere, and it has been frustrating sometimes. Recently, we added some spins which has given us some headaches, but we're working on it and have been successful. I've enjoyed working with Cole and I think our great teamwork has been a big part of our success. Here is an updated picture of the roller coaster:

1st Entry
Today we started adding our tubes. They curled around the main tower and will lead to the bottom where we will add the stunts. The tests were, for the most part, successful, but we will still add some supports throughout the system.
