Once again our Junior High makes learning so much fun. In order to even start the project the kids had to take a test to prove they had the skills and knowledge to build the roller coasters. Happy to say Big B aced it the first time!! The kids were split into teams and then challenged to build a roller coaster out of paper towel and toilet paper rolls. It was a lot of work trying to figure out how to get the marble to go completely through the roller coaster without falling out. Sometimes a little frustrating when it wouldn't go right but it was all good when grading time came. Everyday for two weeks this was all we heard about so I went in to take a look! Pretty cool I must say. The whole room was lined with roller coasters. Why couldn't we do fun stuff like this growing up.
