OVERVIEW FOR THE TEACHER

For many, the ultimate experience at any amusement park is the roller coaster – it’s fast, it’s thrilling,

it’s exhilarating, and it serves as a great physics laboratory. At many parks, roller coasters are the

centerpiece attractions, with their large lift hills and huge elements being the first sight visitors see as

they drive up and enter a park. Bigger and wilder roller coasters are constantly being constructed to

encourage repeat visits from enthusiasts. The activities in this lesson allow students to explore the

components of speed - distance and time - as they explore which elements of the coaster are fastest.
