AJS Roller Coaster Rubric 
AJS Roller Coaster Rubric
Student is tasked to explain the safety requirements of Roller Coasters in the U.S. You will have to design a roller coaster that has a theme and make a scale working model of your design maximum size of 35cm tall x 56cm long 21cm wide. A 1 page essay (3 paragraphs) is required describing your understanding of the energy transfers (PE, KE, GPS, MA) and how it relates to your roller coaster.
