How I Use It
Great for revisiting the concept, contains enough instruction that it can be done with a substitute teacher.
My Take
Engaging take on creating a roller coaster using concepts from conservation of energy. Also includes practical applications, like the need for centripetal force to keep a car from falling off the track. Slightly cheesy backstory seems to be attractive to the middle school students I teach.
