Hi Brenda,
Building and studying the motions of roller coasters are such great ways to apply the NGSS Engineering standards in all grade levels. Your hands-on approach sounds like you offer a solid foundation for elementary students to apply themselves to project based learning.
This interactive site sponsored by Annenberg has been available to teachers for a long time and is useful at many different cognitive levels. You might consider or another interactive site similar to it as an adjunct to your students learning tools. Check it out.
