Appendix: Suggested Materials for Physical Roller Coaster Model For this project, it is recommended that you build the rollercoaster model using inexpensive materials that are easy to work with. Other materials than those suggested below may be used, but notify the teacher in advance. The following materials can be found in hardware and craft supply stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, Office Depot, Hobby Lobby or Michaels. Suggested fabrication materials: foam pipe wrap insulation, Tubolit ½-in x 6-ft bullnose archway corner bead, ¾-in x 10-ft corrugated cardboard or plastic sheets, 3 x 4-ft size 1-inch masking tape glass marbles Additional tools and resources: yardstick or 1-m ruler with inch-scale markings scissors, utility knife, super glue (optional) pegboard, 2 x 4-ft, to use as a mat to easily draw points on cardboard sheet
