Intel® Education K-12 Resources | www.intel.com/teachers It’s a Wild Ride: A Roller Coaster Design Project It’s a Wild Ride | Supporting Success Curriculum Resources: Algebra Experiments Science Resources Thrill Ride! Event Based Science Series A published curriculum with supporting instructional materials, including a video which Theresa also used. Theresa used about seventy-five percent of the material in the module for two things: Developing initial skills and knowledge about roller coaster design; and amusement park career information prior to selecting roles for the group design phase. Theresa showed this video as the initial activity beginning the unit and to prompt thinking about experiences on amusement park rides. World's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills Roller Coaster Series Shows statistical features of roller coasters. It was shown at the beginning of Phase 3 to give students ideas on what features to include when designing their group roller coaster.
