WE added this activity to our roller coaster unit. Students use the template to create a roller coaster unit. It is a lot of fun . It also provides for independent and group work.
This is a great resource for the roller coaster challenge.
The resource was excellent! My students truly loved using this and will use for many years to come!
My students loved the activities. Very engaging and hands-on. Thanks for sharing.
