Kapil,

You may already be aware of the CLE collection of curricular materials, although I do not believe you referred to it specifically. In any case there are a number of chemistry and physics curricular units in that collection. Some have been on the site for quite a few years and use or refer to outdated versions of STELLA, but there is certainly some very nice materials in the collection for your consideration. Here's a url to get into the specifically "science" materials:

There is likely to be useful material in other sections of the collection as well. "Banzai Barbie" is a personal favorite of mine and is found in the "cross curricular" section:

I recall that the RoadMaps materials prepared under Dr. Forrester's direction at MIT also periodically use physics, typically as examples of broader points. You can access those materials through the CLE web site as
well: http://www.clexchange.org.

Good Luck. Please keep the list posted on what you use and how it works.
