Shelli,
  I believe the last PASCO catalog had a page on amusement
park physics with activities and measuring equipment.  You
may find some of that useful in preparing the students for
the assessment.

  You may wish to contact an amusement park.  I know World
of Fun in Kansas City, 4545 Worlds of Fun Ave, Kansas City,
MO 64161 has what they call "School Days" which includes
a physics day (April 22 this year).  They may have some
additional ideas they could send you.
