2. Thursday, Feb. 26 th 188 2/26/15 Thurs. L.T.: I can use my prior knowledge and info from a video clip to help answer Qs about the science of roller coasters. I can then show my understanding creatively in a left side activity. DO NOW: T or F and why: After the first drop and before the end, a roller coaster is always accelerating. ………………………………… Left Side Activities: 1.Roller Coaster Design: 2.Graphing PE and KE 3.Making an Ad 189 Title: Roller Coaster Physics Roller Coaster Physics Q sheet taped in here Answers to your Qs written here: 1 2 3 4 5

3. Roller coaster clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3UQiuDej38 Note: There are a lot of passionate, excited people about roller coasters and fast speeds in this video.

4. As you watch the video clip… When we watch, we are at VL 0. When we pause, VL 2 discussion with our neighbors about what we saw/heard that helps answer the Qs or anything class-related. Write down your thoughts. Exc: (If there is a leader that rises up in our class, this person can direct a short class conversation.)

5. Left Side Activities Option 1: Roller Coaster Design From what you know from class and the video, 1) draw a design your own roller coaster that would maximize speed and 2) not run out of KE before the end. Write an explanation that describes how your RC design fits the 2 criteria. Option 3: Making an Ad You are in charge of making an ad that will attract people to ride a new roller coaster at Enchanted Village. Add 3 science facts into your ad as to how the roller coaster will work and what kind of effect it will have on riders. Include a picture and persuasive language! Option 2: Graphing PE and KE Draw this loop and the 5 points of interest. Draw a bar graph at each point showing the PE and KE levels. Explain why the PE and KE levels are the way you mark them.
