What I learned while doing this physics project is how physics affect our life. What I liked about this project is making the whole thing work - from the beginning to the end. If I had more time to improve my project, then I would make it look better because we didn't have enough time to work on our final decorations.
Today, we worked on rising everything we had, and we also made a first loop that goes straight down. We had to make the exit from our spinning stand less steep because the marble wanted to go straight, which lead the marble to fly of from the track. We didn't build much today. We may not be done by our due date if our progress will be that slow and small.
In our Physics Project, we made a green football field with goals. We also made a stand that looks like a lamp from the stadium. From the top of the stand, our roller coaster will go around the stand. When it gets to the box, we will put some kind of a loop that will go in the goals and will continue on. When it goes around the stand, the marble touches it a lot, losing a lot of kinetic energy. That's the biggest frustration right now, and we cannot do much about it since the track is already attached with tape to the stand. What I think that is cool in our project is the football pitch. We have some ideas about making look even better, but it will take a lot of time. In addition, there are other more important things we need to work on.
