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.
