Quadratic Functions Project Roller Coaster
The Roller Coaster Design Project applies quadratic functions to the real-world. Students explore the time and distance required for an actual roller coaster to fall from hits tallest hill. Students use this first activity as a guide for designing their own rollercoaster. Use this project as part of a quadratic function unit.

What other teachers say about this quadratic functions project:
I. LOVE. THIS. PROJECT. We used Desmos for this. This looks great in the hallway and gives them practice with piecewise functions and intervals. I modified it for 7th grade to include only linear functions. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Great Project for students to practice many aspects related to quadratic functions. I did have student convert answers from meters to feet for perspective.
Gave the students a chance to creatively work with polynomial functions in in a non-textbook setting.
This was a great end of unit project. My students loved it!
