Each group will be given one box, one roll of electrical tape, one Dixie cup, 60 straws. You may also use hot glue, paper or cardstock. Other items from the classroom can be used with permission; you may use anything you bring in. </p><p>4. The roller coaster must be able to fit in, on, under or around the box </p><p>5. Each roller coaster must have at least 1 loop, one turn and 1 hill. Your marble is expected to roll by its self the entire length of the track. Your marble must end in the Dixie cup.</p><p>6.
