Roller Coaster Science …

Michelle Selle’s freshman physical science classes at Meeker High School construct marble-type roller coasters that demonstrate the conversion of the potential energy of marbles sitting at the top of the roller coaster into kinetic (moving) energy and calculating the physics involved. The completed projects are then subjected to the review of judges as well as Selle’s own observations. The judges this year included school board members Tom Allen and Bob Dorsett, upper class physics student…
