    You have been selected to help design a small prototype rollercoaster for Dreamworld on the Sunshine Coast. Over the next three sessions, you will work in a group of three engineers to build a rollercoaster no bigger than 1 meter squared using various materials like toilet rolls and cardboard. You will need to create engineering diagrams and reports demonstrating your understanding of key physics concepts like kinetic energy, potential energy, and energy transfer applied to different sections of the coaster. Next week there will be a showcase to present your rollercoaster design and engineering work to the class.

    Congratulations!

    You have been selected as an engineer to help design a small prototype rollercoaster for
    Dreamworld on the Sunshine Coast! There will be a showcase event for you to display your epic
    rollercoaster in a mini presentation to the class.
    First, dreamworld need you as an engineer to show your dream ideas and research the information behind
    why they work.
    Next, dreamworld needs a detailed diagram of your dream rollercoaster and need to understand what
    physics principles are used in certain sections.
    Then, the engineers must collaborate in groups of three to build a rollercoaster using shared ideas from
    their diagrams.
    Dreamworld wants to see the best functioning types possible, remember to show a variety of energy types
    and uses.

    Engineering Criteria:
    Showcase: Wednesday next week. (3x60 minute project engineering sessions)
    Size: No bigger than 1m2
    Project Booklet: Solution fluency to create engineering report. (Can be High, Low or No Tech. Ask Teacher)
    Groups: Max 3 engineers per group. All must do individual engineering report. Rollercoaster build is combined.
    Key Physics concepts to discover:
    Tracks and Materials:
     Kinetic Energy
    Tracks and materials can be as simple or complex as you would like:
     Toilet rolls  Potential Energy and how it is stored
     Cardboard  Energy Transfer
     Titration Stands  Loss of energy
     Pipe insulation foam.  Illustrate the changes between different energy forms

    Engineering Challenge:
    Calculate the velocities and changes in acceleration
    Calculate the force applied to the track
    Calculate the G forces
    If a life-size model was built. Would it be survivable?
