I have not developed any content for secondary school, and the
material I have developed for grad classes may not be of much use to
anyone with a different teaching style from mine

The one document that I can think of that is portable and suitable for
sexondary school is 
http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~karplus/bme205/f05/darling-model/build-peptides.html
and the accompanying homework assignment
http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~karplus/bme205/f06/paper1-darling.html

These are on building backbones of proteins using the Darling model kits.
Incidentally, if you haven't looked at the Darling models, I highly
recommend them.  They are the only general-purpose kit I have found
that models peptide planes and hydrogram bonds well, and thus the only
model I've found that is suitable for use in protein modeling.

I have no objections to these documents being distributed in a free
DVD, though I would object to anyone making a profit off my work
without giving me a fair share (and I get to define what is fair).

I would be interested in getting the DVD, as I have been looking for
materials suitable for my son's school to use.
