The newest project is a roller coaster project. This uses newtons first and second laws of motion, by having a hill for the all to pick up speed by gravity to go over the hills. Next we have a bulls' eye for the Ball to hit to stop it at the end of the ride. Also we used the cardboard tubes and plastic to cover the tape to reduce the friction. I think this is a fun way to have a project and more fun than just learning facts and taking notes. This helps us by giving a fun way to learn Newton's laws. Also I have researched that there are 1. Many variations of this project 2. That they all teach laws of motion but some teach Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
