Paper Roller Coasters by Scott Weeks, Civil Engineer, Kimley-Horn

January 7, 2023

Science Saturdays in Ocala began in January 2023 with a session about “Building Roller Coasters”. The presentation was led by civil engineer Scott Weeks and his colleagues from the Forest Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society (FES). Students designed, built and tested roller coasters in small groups. They also learned about principles of potential and kinetic energy that dictate how high a roller coaster must climb to complete of a successful loop.
