The curriculum should cover:
Earth Science
Earth’s Surface
Changes in position of objects and environments through time; - volcanoes, canyon thru erosion, mountains thru earthquakes, videos, beaches thru erosion (interesting how they are rebuilt), dust-storms thru cutting down cover
Relative movements of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and the planets - sun song,
Physical Science
Matter and Its Transformations - water cycle, burn something (smoke and ash)
Energy and Its Transformations - physics and game engine
Forces and Motion - physics game engine
Life Science
Change and Evolution - Avoid evolution but show how selection changes. Dogs are great example.
Cells and Their Functions
Organisms
Ecology

Science simulation tools
A few big possibilities if I don't want to develop from scratch.
www.fantasticcontraption.com - a great game, reminds of the incredible machine. I think it's by Brain Fargo (who I remember from Interplay's Glory Days in the late 80s, early 90s when I was at 3DO). Can this be used as a learning tool? As in:
- no ads
- programmable with decent science
- is it physics and motion only??
www.explorelearning.com - their gizmos are cool, they're intended for education, they belong to VoyagerU that just merged with some one.
- what would their licensing model be?
