Hmm, the biggest idea I can come up with is a project management application
geared around the scientific method:

1) Assumption
2) Hypothesis
3) Test  Hypothesis
4) Retain, Modify or Reject Hypothesis
5) If Hypothesis rejected, Question initial assumptions

And so on.

Let students collect, organize and present their test results using Zope (some
of the graphing packages could be useful here), and you'll really have
something!

HTH,

Michael.
