[IAEP] Physics - Lesson plans ideas?

[Caroline Meeks]

Yes, I think thats a good idea.  Also maybe its engineering principals not
Physics that should be the learning objectives.
What I'm realizing is that really I'm giving demos to teachers about h0w to
use Sugar to support learning.  So what I want is a bunch of lessons using
various different activities that are clearly aligned with any common
curriculum objective.

For Physics I think I want a really simple challenge that I can demo then
have students solve it fairly quickly.  then I want a couple levels of
additional challenge where students can solve problems in different ways.
