Roller Coasters in Second Grade #STEM

Looking for a simple roller coaster design program? My second graders loved Coaster Frenzy. This week in Tech we designed and rode our own Roller Coasters!
Building on our STEM study of balance, energy and motion, we used the app Coaster Frenzy to design our own thrill rides.  In the process we asked questions like “How do I make it go faster” and these question led to discussions of gravity and energy.





The app is available on iOS and Android
