Make sure you make the highest drop first.

I did a project like that. I had mine launched. On another, I just didn't make a lift hill and had the car start at the first drop. I used an EXTREMELY INEXSPENSIVE batman toy which was basically a roller coaster. On the link (http://www.themeparkpage.com/toys.html) it won't show the batman toy, but the red one is almost exactly the same. It's really easy to construct and you choose the track layout. Advice for the project -- Don't let the first drop go all the way to the ground. It dosen't make it up the next hill easily if you do have the track going to ground level.

Oh I loved doing this last year in school when I was in 6th grade. We used cardboard cut and folded on the edges to help the marble from falling off, tape, marble, clay, and those cubes that connect. Our roller coaster had 1 loop, 2 hills, and 3 turns. Make the starter hill tallest, 1 meter. Then a hill about 2 feet, then about 1 feet, and the last one about 6 inches. Make the roller coaster in a straight line and maybe a cup at the end to catch the marble. Make the parts in little pieces, about 6 inches, then tape together after every piece is done. Make sure to fold the edges of the cardboard or the marble will fall off. When you tape the pieces together, try to use the least amount of tape as possible. Overlap the pieces. Try not to make any bumps. Good Luck! It shouldn't take too long since it is only hills. (It took us forever to make the loop just right.)

I designed a roller coaster for my physics class and it was fun. We used a long foam cylinder and we cut it in half so it would be like a half pipe. Our vehicle used for this was a little ball. To make the roller coaster faster and fun we made it 8feet tall and we united a Bunch of tracks with toothpicks. make it fun, with twists, loops, and all you can think of.

Don't. Just have your parents write your teacher a note that they do not appreciate the teacher wasting precious instructional time on a useless project.
Then demand to see the lesson plans, and the curriculum objectives the project is intended to apply.
