Amusement Park Physics

Amusement Park Physics by Nathan Unterman, a physics teacher at Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois provides a wealth of information about planning an amusement park study program in your classroom. The book comes complete with student sheets for activities that can be performed at amusement parks or carnivals. Background information and sample data is provided. The selection of activities is large enough that you can pick activities specific to your situation. Traditional equipment, such as spring accelerometers, and technology-based equipment, such as our accelerometer, are both discussed. Activities and sample data are provided for those who do not have access to an amusement park. The book provides tips on managing amusement park field trips.
