The roller coaster must include a vertical loop, a turn, and be a minimum of 2 meters in length.

Constraints: Limited materials, smallest cost]]> 2017-03-06 12:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/157995836 amberhart https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/157997054 "How did the constraints affect the possible outcomes of the solution?"]]> 2017-03-06 13:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/157997054 amberhart https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/158316756 Data Collected:
We learned that square loops don't work because of the sharp corners.

What worked well: 
Tape moderation

What modifications need to be made?:
Make a circle not a square on the loop

Plan For Tomorrow:
Make a circle, not a square for the loop, then finish the rollercoaster.

Q: The tape won't stick
A: Use more tape
Q: Loop is too square
A: Make it rounder
Q: Hill is too steep
A: Make it go down more and up less
Q: Get the turn without the marble falling off
A: Make it like a waterslide

What has worked or is working now?:
Nothing

What modifications need to be made to your solution?:
Make it like a waterslide (in a circle, like a closed tunnel) so the marble doesn't go flying off

Plan for tomorrow:
Make it like a waterslide so the marble doesn't go flying off

We have nothing]]> 2017-03-08 12:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/158629513 amberhart https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/158940390 What is working well?:
The marble rolls nicely.

Where are you having trouble?:
We are having trouble with the loop and getting the tape to stick

Plan for tomorrow:
Get work done

We got the tape to work

What is the weakest aspect of the design?:
The failed loop

Explain how well your solution meets the criteria and constraints of the design challenge:
It doesn't.

-loop
-turn
-must be 2 meters
It does not contain all that's needed

Does it work?:
No]]> 2017-03-13 11:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/159630961 amberhart https://padlet.com/amberhart/8ahn7rh7bv4h/wish/159631741 What characteristics of the solutions could be combined to form the best solution possible?:
Our waterslide idea and the boys' loop idea.

How did your group's dynamic impact the outcome of your solution?:
It impacted our solution by us not being able to get it finished because the tactic required too much tape.
