Amusement Park Physics is an interactive website made available through Annenberg Media’s Learner.org website and uses the excitement of roller coasters to teach about important physics concepts. Kids can look through the Physics Glossary to define terms and find out more about the history of roller coasters. The real feature of this website, however, is the building a roller coaster activity in which kids get to design their own rollar coaster while learning physics concepts along the way. At the end, their roller coaster must pass a safety inspection.
