Roller Coaster

My physics teacher is a short, crazy old woman. She makes people go up to the board and write up a question they don’t know how to solve, discovers an error (Good question! or Who is your math teacher?), humiliates them into crying and then calms them down saying that crying is a good human emotion. Or if to her surprise, they actually get the answer, she says “Good girl” or “She’s good” (boys don’t surprise her often).

But we still like her, room 220 will always be in our hearts. Chessclub, physics club, everything! The place of gathering, if anyone ever comes to visit the school, room 220 is a must (usually the first stop to come by). All in all, her assignments are kind of crazy too. For grade 12, we are supposed to design a roller coaster. This is how mine turned out. I hear Ben was sneaking by.

Aren't the roller coasters supposed to be made out of paper? Cool design nonetheless! MUCH better than Amir's foldable coaster.

"Aren't the roller coasters supposed to be made out of paper?" - Oh well, too late now, :).

Tout, if I remember correctly in my physics class someone (team) made theirs out of Styrofoam. I don't think Ms. M is too picky. What I love is that Oleg's folding roller coaster works after being folded, while Amir's did not.
