Amusement Park Rides







More and More Rides










Last But Not Least



These pictures show our Amusement Park Rides. We learned Isaac Newton's three laws of motion during the process of building our projects. We also faced many challenges but had many successes. The most common challenge was thinking of ideas on how they were going to represent the three laws. The most common success was getting the rides to work properly. The class had many creative ideas, but they didn't always work on the first try. Overall, they all did a great job demonstrating their talents and all of Newton's laws. Thanks a bunch for encouraging and helping your child achieve this goal.
