La ciencia del Parque de Diversiones.

Usando varias actividades que usan un tubo de espuma, cinta fortificada, y un marmol, los estudiantes exploraron las leyes de Newton que relacionan al movimiento, la fuerza, y la velocidad, etc. El proyecto final fue construir una montana rusa que contiene por lo menos un lazo, una colina, y una curva. El marmol tuvo que pararse lentamente al final de la montana rusa... Aparte de la aplicacion practica de lo que habian aprendido en su clase los estudiantes SE DIVIRTIERON!
