Paper roller Coaster
items to focus on:
1. structural integrity - which shape(s) is the strongest? Is that shape always the best option?
2. Materials - What are the strengths of the materials you are using? what are the limitations?
3. Design - How can you get around design limitations? (size of paper, strength of paper, external factors)
Items to consider:
1. Theme - Is there a theme? does it work?
2. Function - How well does it work? Does the marble work?
3. extras - Does it add to the theme? does it add to the function?
4. color scheme - Do the colors work together?
5. durability - Can you move it without it breaking? will it withstand repeated use?
