In this exciting engineering challenge, students explore forces and friction to design the ultimate waterslide! Learners observe how angles, surfaces, and gravity affect the speed and safety of a ride before constructing their own model slides. Through testing and iteration, they modify height, slope, and materials to ensure riders reach the pool safely and smoothly. This fun, engaging challenge allows students to apply physics concepts in a creative, hands-on way, and the excitement of testing their designs makes it a favorite in the classroom.
How can we create a waterslide that safely delivers riders into a pool?
