Marble Roller Coaster Project Supplies

Everything you need comes in the marble roller coaster model kit.

Marble roller coaster project supplies.

Building a simple marble run or tube based coaster is only the beginning. You can build one just for fun or do this as a science fair project. The marble roller coaster is an open ended challenge. But when you get it right it can be exhilarating.

Learn the fundamentals of engineering and marble run physics and marvel at the continuous marble motion. You have to experiment with different height and different loop sizes to make a good roller coaster marble run. It is not easy to get it right the first time. Create the longest track possible without letting the marble fall off.

Choose and build 4 uniquely different marble roller coasters. Explore the elaborate mechanisms of marble coasters and build your own. Ideal for rapid redesigning and exploring the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and momentum. Get hands on exploring what kinds of loops are possible how energy changes during a ride and how the laws of motion come into play.

However if your coaster had any sharp turns or corners your marble might have gotten stuck. This homemade roller coaster is definitely one of the most fun science projects but it is also one of the most challenging. Build a marble roller coaster from foam pipe insulation in this fun science project.
