Celeste Physics Class
Assemble Roller Coaster
Mr. Kevin Hathorne's Physics class at Celeste High School, made up of
Seniors, proudly displays it's roller coaster project. Mr. Hathorne is a new and
valued addition to the high school staff this year and his creativity is
appreciated in his teaching style. This was a student-designed Roller coaster,
using physics principles to determine the overall design.
The end of the semester project reviewed previously learned principles such as
acceleration, energy conservation, friction, energy conversion, and
gravitational acceleration. This project had perfect timing, as the graduating
class of 2006 will leave for Six Flags later next month, to experience some real
roller coasters and their energy.
