Product Information

by Nathan A. Unterman
There are many texts, articles, postings, and more on amusement park physics. Unfortunately, many of these materials offer confusing tutorials on the science of the rides and amusements. Amusement Park Physics, A Teachers Guide by Nathan A. Unterman uses meaningful, relevant physics activities delivered through a combination of in-class study and amusement park field trips to help teachers teach their students physics. This book has been updated to correlate with the National Science Education Standards.
Chapters cover general field trip planning, physics background and instructional strategies, triangulation, horizontal accelerometers and spring accelerometers, student designed field trip activity for the amusement park, amusement park field trip question bank, and more. Also included are sections on calculator-based sensors and accelerators, spring accelerometer theory, and tower thrill rides.
Features complete teaching notes and suggested procedures for over 30 activities, step-by-step procedures to make field trip planning easier, evaluation forms, mathematical formulas, and trigonometric tables. Bibliography, resources. 198 pp., softcover.
