Roller Coaster Diy Guidelines

The document outlines guidelines for a DIY roller coaster project aimed at demonstrating physics principles such as energy, force, and motion. Students must use basic materials to create a functional roller coaster that includes specific structural features and adheres to safety protocols, all within a 3-hour time limit. Evaluation criteria focus on design functionality, understanding of physics concepts, creativity, and teamwork during the presentation.

ROLLER COASTER DIY GUIDELINES

Objective:
Design and build a functional roller coaster using basic materials to demonstrate principles of physics such as energy, force, and
motion.
Materials:
 Students can use materials such as cardboard, straws, paper, tape, glue, string, marbles, and other simple items.
 Recycled materials are encouraged to promote sustainability.
 No pre-made kits allowed; everything must be created from scratch.
Structure Requirements:
 The roller coaster must include at least one loop, one hill, and one turn.
 The design must allow a marble (or similar small ball) to travel from the start to the finish without being pushed once released.
 The starting height must be no more than 50 cm above the base.
Theme:
 Students may choose a theme (e.g., space, jungle, futuristic) and design the roller coaster based on that theme. Creativity in
theme execution is encouraged.
Time Limit:
 Students will have 3 hours to complete their roller coaster during the class period.
Safety:
 Ensure all cutting and construction are done safely. Use scissors and glue carefully under supervision.

Roller Coaster DIY Criteria Comments/Suggestions and Points

Design and Functionality (40%)


 The marble completes the track without stopping or needing external
force.
 Includes at least one loop, one hill, and one turn.
 The roller coaster holds together and remains upright during testing.
 Unique features or creative twists added to the roller coaster.

Physics Understanding (30%)


 Demonstrates an understanding of potential and kinetic energy (e.g.,
how height affects speed).
 Incorporates and explains forces like gravity, friction, and centripetal
force.
 The group can explain why they made specific design decisions
based on physics principles.

Creativity and Aesthetics (20%)


 Successfully integrates the chosen theme into the design.
 The roller coaster is visually attractive, colorful, and well-decorated.

Teamwork and Presentation (10%)


 All members contributed to the design and construction.
 The group presents their roller coaster, explaining how it works and
the physics behind it.
