Making My Website

In science class, we got a fun assignment. It was to create a website for our roller coaster (fake one). I have already provided you with the URL in another blog, so check it out. After reading this. In our wqebsite, we had to include how roller coasters relate to science (of course). To make your site, first go to www.webs.com, and enter a site adress (URL) and password. After that, fill out the required information that will appear on the screen (age, username, password, etc.). If you successfully complete the form, you can choose a template. after that, they will supply a list of types of sites, and you have to choose one. Then, you insert all the pages you want and you can customize it by adding a music player and other widgets.
When we wrote how our coaster connected to science, we had to include connections to friction, force, and Newton's Laws of Motion. The forces involved in a roller coaster are acceleration and gravity. Friction between the track and the cars, and between the air and the cars are what keeps the coaster from going on and on. Your inertia is what makes you feel like you're being pressed against the restraining bar at the bottom of the hill and what makes you feel like you're still going up at the top of the hill.
