Welcome Teachers!

The amusement park physics lessons are broken up into 3 categories:   The pre-trip lessons, during-trip lessons and the post-trip lessons. At the moment, each contains three different lessons.  These pages are works in progress and your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail me at Beth.Kubitskey@emich.edu with your ideas.  We will try to incorporate these suggestions, so you might want to check back here before doing the lessons to make sure you have the latest edition.

To those from the March MSTA conference:  I hope you accept my humblest apology for not having enough copies. I hope this did not cause you any inconvenience.  Many thanks for your patience.

The lessons are available in Adobe pdf format via the links below.  Your web browser should be able to automatically read each lesson simply by clicking on each link (Note: Some files are fairly large and as such may take some time to download via slower modem connections).  You will see glitches in the text formatting that occurred during file conversion.  We are working as quickly as possible to correct these documents in place but felt it best to get the general information posted ASAP.

Finally, many thanks to the following without whom this would not have been possible:
 

Tess Ewart, A.I. Root Middle School, for lesson ideas. Jan Guthridge, Cedar Point

Walt Schmidt, for his pictures.
Dr. Robert Speers, Bowling Green State University, for lesson inspiration.
Bill Stockwell, formerly of Cedar Point, for getting me started.
Norbert Vance, Eastern Michigan University, for getting this on-line.
Gregg Zulauf, Muskegon Area Math/Science Center, for lesson inspiration.
