Foundation Physics - Loop Track

Please Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included with the Loop Track and will need to be purchased separately using code PP00054183

  • The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum. The Universal Stand is required for each add-on.

When used with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand, this Loop Track enables students to investigate how a roller coaster car can stay on the track when it travels in a large, circular loop.

This uses a straight, 80 cm long portion of the track with a marble to investigate acceleration. The circular portion lets students experimentally determine the minimum velocity the marble needs to make one full trip around the loop.

A photogate system (not supplied) can be incorporated to take speed and acceleration measurements.

The Loop Track includes:

  • 1 x Loop Track with mounting bolt
  • Plastic Marbles (19mm diameter)
  • Steel Marbles (19mm diameter)
  • Instructions
  • Teachers Guide
  • Students Guide

Additional apparatus required:

  • Foundation Physics Universal Stand
  • Photogate System (optional)
  • Stopwatch
  • Metre Ruler
  • Combine with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand (available separately) to teach around and demonstrate Motion and Forces.
  • Suitable for staff and student use.
  • The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum.
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time).  Forces being needed to cause objects to stop or start moving, or to change their speed or direction of motion (qualitative only)
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Explain the vector-scalar distinction as it applies to displacement, velocity and speed.  Explain that motion in a circle involves constant speed but changing velocity (qualitative only). Make and interpret measurements of distances, times, speeds and accelerations,and represent these in graphical form.

Activities could include:

  • Examination of Uniform Accelerated Motion
  • Conservation of Mechanical Energy
  • Vertical Circular Motion and Conservation of Energy
