Watch the Dartmouth College students' video as they design amusement park rides at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjNjVO3C03Y.

Then use your knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion, speed, velocity, acceleration, work, power, energy, and their calculations to design your own amusement park ride.

Work with 2-3 other students to brainstorm ideas and construct a workable ride. Use this wiki space to collaborate among your group members and with other groups to share strategies and challenges during your construction phase.

Use the Vernier motion detector and photogate lab probes to measure speed, velocity, acceleration, and position change to verify your calculations.

Have fun!
