Have you done the acceleration demo like in B.J. Allen-Conn & Kim Rose's "Powerful Ideas in the Classroom" book and demoed on the "Squeakers" DVD and a bit in Alan's TED Talk? TED Talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/228
Also, middle schoolers study angles. That might be an easy one to create one yourself.

I'm working up my slides and I will be using the latest squeakland/etoys build to demo. I've done the "car" demo ( mastered that) and also can demo the "car on a track". But does anyone have any suggestions for math and science? aka something that I can build on the fly and show a topic that a Middle School or High School teacher would do in class?
Thanks
