Bill:  There are some great web sites that might help.

hyperphysics
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html

The Physics Front
http://www.physicsfront.org/

Cornell offers two sessions over the summer that would help:

Research Experience for Teachers (RET)
http://www.mrsec.org/events/2007/07/cornell_center_for_materials_r.html

Cornell Institute for Physics Teachers
http://www.cns.cornell.edu/cipt/summer2003-about.html

Cheers,
Pat
