In this project you will learn how gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are the two key energies used in relation to roller coasters.  You will get a better understanding of how roller coasters work.  The speed and energy used during the roller coaster are vital to really grasp the idea of how it works.  There are different aspects to a roller coaster such as the friction, speed, energy use and how the roller coaster is tracked during the ride.
