This resource was fantastic! I've done roller coaster projects in the past, but I was looking for a resource that would engage my students better and challenge them to up their game. I added/changed a couple of things to make it fit with my project requirements and VOILA! My middle schoolers loved it!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).
Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations (e.g., persons per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot).
Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios).
