The Zope Portal Toolkit will be really useful for
this, methinks.

As much as possible, everything should be
collaborative. The students should be able to submit
things for the main page and possibly have areas where
they can put their own things.

What kinds of things?

- Science-related news (your own custom science
weblog)
- Links to cool, relevant websites (eg
http://www.howstuffworks.com)
- Results from group experiments
- Photos, etc. from previous classes

(If you have a digital camera, it would be easy to get
pictures to put up there)

You can also put up some tools for helping the
students calculate things that might be useful in
their experiments. (There may already be some
Javascript tools out there, or you can easily create
these in Zope using DTML or python).

Have fun!
Kevin
