Disneyland Paris offers endless opportunities for scientific discovery. Engage your students in an exciting world of technology and experimentation, as they investigate the science behind the roller coasters and special effects of Europe's most popular theme park.

Alongside core enquiries into the physics of ride technology, students can explore themes such as sustainability, environmental impact and how senses are engaged within the park. A 'Rides and Technology Workbook' is available to guide students through the key scientific features of the resort, focusing on energy, electricity and forces. Within the workbook's 'Roller Coaster Science Project', students are encouraged to apply their understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion, by investigating aspects, such as friction, velocity and gravity.

Enhance your knowledge of electricity, as you investigate source and supply, power-saving and wiring. Appreciate the role that science plays in technological change, and understand the importance experimentation and modeling. Apply your understanding of kinetic and potential energy as you experience, first-hand, the speed and acceleration of rollercoasters. Recognise the role of ethics and sustainability within science and technology, and assess aspects of risk within the park. Delve deeper behind the scenes and consider the wider career opportunities that are available to scientists.
