Marble Roller Coaster Project Design

But when you get it right it can be exhilarating.

Marble roller coaster project design.

This homemade roller coaster is definitely one of the most fun science projects but it is also one of the most challenging. Draw your design on paper. Before you start building plan out a design for your roller coaster. It is not easy to get it right the first time.

You have to experiment with different height and different loop sizes to make a good roller coaster marble run. Abstract if you d like to investigate the physics of amusement park rides then this project is for you. You ll build a roller coaster track for marbles using foam pipe insulation and masking tape and see how much of an initial drop is required to get the marble to loop the loop. Figure out how many supports and pieces of track you will need.

Using a piece of corrugated cardboard as a base assemble your track according to your plan.
