- Kinetic energy (energy of motion)
- Conservation of energy (basic law of physics)
- Gravity
- Velocity
- Friction
- Slope (rise/run)

Summary of my project:
We started with 2 tubes and cut one of them then got 1 more tube and cut it. We struggled to get the roller coaster to work.
| What starting height was needed for the marble to make it through the loop most of the time?
We didn’t get to that.
|
| What can you determine about the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?
When making something like a roller coaster. They need each other to work. |
Livi,
Please double check the project rubric for elements that are to be included in your blog post. You are missing several elements including definitions with the vocabulary terms, as well as describing the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.
