Q4 STEAM Roller Coaster: Completing this Quest

2. Visual Learning

Completing this Quest

In this Quest, you used an online Roller Coaster activity using a 5-step Engineering Process. You have completed this Quest when you have:

Learned how energy transfer (potential and kinetic) will impact your design for a roller coaster that has enough kinetic energy to complete a full run.
Learned how energy loss dissipates enough energy (through friction) to stop safely at the end of the designated track.
Applied the 5-step engineering design process to create a working model.

If you use the Student Portfolio, fill in the slide corresponding to the Quest you just completed. You should already have a copy or download of this portfolio created and saved in your Google Drive or Microsoft files.

Check off this Quest on the 21t4s roadmap if it is used in class.

I am ready to go on to the Visual Learning Graduation Page.
