Your heart is in your throat and your stomach is—well, somewhere. You consider it death-defying, yet worth these fascinating sensations of fright. You also consider it worth another long wait in an endless line! <br> </br> Roller coasters, like other amusement park rides, are designed using <i><font color="CC0000">physics</i></font color> laws to <i><font color="333300">simulate</i></font color> danger. The rides are typically very safe. <br> </br> How do physics laws affect roller coaster designs? How does the history of roller coaster design affect the technology of their design today? <br> </br> Consider roller coaster <font color="FF0000">safety</font color>,<font color ="999933"> science</font color>,<font color="660066"> history</font color>, and rider desire for <font color="CC0066">thrills and chills</font color>. If you were part of a collaborative team of creative and critical thinkers, what would be your design for the ultimate <font color="000066"><i>“scream machine”?</i> </font color>Would it meet the criteria for safety, science, thrills and chills, and possibly hold a place in roller coaster history? </font> <center> <img src="http://teacherweb.com/MD/OxonHillMS/ TechEffectScreamMachineWebQuest/logoscreammachine2.gif"> <font face="elephant"><font size="2">Tech Effect</font face></font size><font size="1"><font face="arial"><i> Rashida Betts, Literacy Coach G.
