My eighth grader needs ideas on how to make a roller coaster using objects found at home any ideas?

Answer 1

Empty tin cans put together, held up by empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls at different heights, with a little car marble or something to roll through it?

I'm not good with these thing....

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I suppose it depends on what you have at home. You might use an empty thread spool as the "car" and a ribbon as the track. You'd need to support it from the bottom to make the course, possibly by gluing the ribbon to pencils or straws and standing them up in modelling clay. You'll have to lay out the course pretty carefully to keep the spool from jumping the track.

Answer 3

you can use a marble for the "car". An empty t.p roll or paper towel roll to make railings. some times you can make it out of bent cardboard or styrafoam. good luck on the project!
hope you get an A!!!

god bless!

Answer 4

i'v done that project. my group used toilet paper rolls and wrapping paper rolls, pieces of wood to hold up the toilet and wrapping paper rolls, and this small clear tubing. we also used a cereal box to make some of the tubing sturdier, and a bee-bee to roll through it.
