I am an electrical engineer who has been asked by a local high 
school to teach a basic physical science course in the fall.
I am looking forward to this because of my own interest in science
and technology.  I want the course to be interesting and motivating
to my students (8-10 total, 9th grade students).  What work has 
been done to make the material interesting to non-technical
and technical types? I want to encourage those who are interested
in a career in science/math and also help those who are not
to see the value of learning the material.

The question is, what are some methods of teaching the material
(including supplemental material) I could use in the class?  How
can I transfer my enthusiasm for the material to my students?

I would be interested in dialog with anyone who has taught similar
courses, especially those who are engineers and have taught science
in high school.
