Freshman Physics Foam Insulation Roller Coaster Adventure (picture Matthew Dougherty, Peyton Stauss, Jacob Scherbty, and Parker Crane) "By turning physics class into a roller coaster adventure with foam insulation tracks, our freshmen physics students lived and breathed the excitement of science, gaining a deeper understanding of physics concepts, while honing teamwork and problem-solving skills. In the roller coaster project with a loop, the demonstration of energy conservation becomes even more exciting. As the coaster starts its descent and enters the loop, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This kinetic energy keeps the coaster moving through the loop and back up again. This thrilling journey illustrates how energy is transformed without being lost, making physics come alive in a spectacular way." - Mrs. Gleason, Science Teacher
