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
Additional Information
Develops skills in understanding speed and momentum, force and motion, angles and trajectories, and size.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Kids Love!

May 29, 2025 - By Lisa 3from Shawnee, KS

Every time I get out these kits (I have 3), the children get so excited. They provide such a mixture of science--investigation and application of science skills and phenomena--with fun, teamwork, challenge, hands-on gaming, and friendly competition if wanted. Look for sales if the price is too much.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Good activity

February 08, 2025 - By Engineer A Coaster Activity Kitfrom Missouri

This is a great learning activity. You lost a star because your picture was misleading. It looks like the white board is part of the kit. Not a big problem but my grandson liked the look of it when we picked it out.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for critical thinking

January 27, 2025 - By arlie clarkfrom Clyde, NC

I bought this for my Kindergarten classroom because they love STEM activities and thought they would enjoy this. They can't get enough of this activity! I put it on my back board and allow them to play at center time, they all run to grab this one first! it is a great way to make them think critically and to never give up, keep trying. They like building their own tracks and experimenting how it works the most, but they will use the cards if they get stuck. I highly recommend this activity for school age children.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

So sturdy, well made!

December 02, 2024 - By Chaeli Gerrishfrom Iowa Falls, IA

These activity cards and magnet coasters are so fun! My child care toddlers and preschoolers love to play with this and even challenge each other! Sometimes, we don't use the cards and I let them free play and they build their own coasters!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Wonderful exploratory toy.

September 18, 2024 - By janiefrom Minneapolis

I bought this for my grandchildren to use on their Lakeshore magnetic stand. The magnets are very strong which are needed when you experiment with various weighted balls and or cars. It is so much fun to see how various angles change the speed at which an object rolls and how different spacing affects how objects fall.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
