Your challenge • To create a roller coaster track that will transport a marble through two loops and two hills • You will use: • A marble • Up to four pieces of foam noodle • Duct Tape • Label your roller coaster using the Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy Signs
Rules for the Noodles • No hitting or whacking people (unless you are a teacher…this is absolutely permitted!!!!) • Do not make inappropriate gestures • Do not tear the noodle • Do not bite the noodle (we have some chewers on the team) • If you ruin a noodle you will have to replace it.
