I am in the middle of watching this 3 part show on BBC2 in the UK. This show is exactly the kind of thing you are after. It follows a science teacher and his class as he introduces a project in order to get them interested in science. He uses fireworks as a hook and they follow through chemicals making light, watching a professional display (and helping the organisers) through to creating their own demonstration.
These kids did not like science at all before the project started, but their faces when he was showing them stuff were complete fascination and they were extremely enthusiastic.
The show is available on the BBC iPlayer but I am not sure if this can be used worldwide so you might have to look elsewhere in order to get the show. Hopefully you will get chance to watch this as it should give you some ideas.
I don't normally respond to flamebait like this, but HOW IGNORANT CAN SOMEONE BE?????
LOTR was written about 50 years ago and draws upon a plethora of historical and mythical references which have existed for centuries (maybe even millenia). The dwarves, etc with their beards were quite well described in the books and the fims merely remained true to the descriptions in the books.
Book 2 (the Two Towers) was published in 1954 - way before the twin towers were even built.
I am also offended as an Englishman. As a nation we were appalled with the attacks on the Twin Towers (Note, not the Two Towers) and we have suffered enough terrorist attacks ourselves (although admittedly, not on this scale) over the years to be extremely sensitive to the victims of ANY terrorist attack (bali, etc).
Hope this sets the record straight (although I know that the majority of/. readers will not need the correction).

Maybe we could actually understand Stacey Solomon (UK semi celebrity) if slowed down this much!
