Description
Kids love thrilling roller coasters…and now they can design their own! Through trial and error, students learn how the track position affects the disk—as it rolls and falls from track to track and into the goal box! Plus, the magnetic tracks stick to any flat magnetic surface, so they’re perfect for use with our Stand-Up Magnetic Design Center (sold separately). You get 5 double-sided challenge cards, 3 disks, a goal box and 10 magnetic tracks. Longest track measures 15".
Item # LL570
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Additional Information
Develops skills in understanding speed and momentum, force and motion, angles and trajectories, and size.

Perfect hands on learning - the kids LOVE it!

I'm really happy with this purchase, the only thing I had to do was laminate the cards to keep them from getting bent. The children really love building different coasters and it keeps them engaged.,

Great for critical thinking!

I bought this engineering coaster for my preschoolers! It is sturdy and easy for little hands to maneuver. I only bought the coaster set and not the magnetic easel so we use it on our own magnetic whiteboard. Works great! The children love to explore, experiment and find different ways to make the gears fall through the spaces at the bottom! This is something the children ask for almost every day!

My grandson is hooked

My four year-old grandson is hooked on this. He plays with it so much longer than any other toy. He was all absorbed in it at the library. So much so that I bought one for home. I highly recommend it.

STEM fun

This product is a lot of fun, but it takes some patience and critical thinking skills for 4 year olds. Most of them just get frustrated. It also takes a strong magnetic board to hold the pieces up and keep them from sliding. The shown stand up magnetic board is recommended.

Great for stem!

My kindergarten class has enjoyed this new activity. They get very excited when the wheels fall into the slots. Helps them to persevere when it doesn't turn out the way they want it.

So much learning!

My students loved the coaster. When they first started, and it didn't work, they would make adjustments until it worked! I loved seeing them think out of the box.

Great for little engineers

I like the ability of the kids using their critical thinking skills in order to find the path for the coaster to work.
