Roller Coaster Physics Project final info and notes:
*Individual reflections are due Sunday, April 19 - assignment is in Google classroom (make sure you officially click "turn it on" in the upper right corner of the completed doc) *The first day back from Arts Fest (April 20 or 21) you will have a short amount of time to wrap things up with your group. During this time, you should do your Design and Performance Data Sheet if you didn't already do your time trials. You will also finalize and turn in all of your completed work, which should be stapled in the following order: 1. Title Page (Proposal Questions at this link are not required, but if you had time to complete them, they should be the last thing in your proposal packet) 2. Project Checklist 3. Background Research A, B, & D 4. Planning and Design Sheet 5. Design and Performance Data Sheet |
