Linda,

Awesome learning project.  I see an entrepreneurial opportunity here.  My
daughter actually took a class in high school where students r&d'd a
product (floor cleaner and wax).  They then pitched it and sold it to
develop the program.  The teacher actually owns a store and sells the
products.  Talk about interdisciplinary learning!

OR, just set up a sweat shop and have the kids work for your cottage
industry. ;-)
