I like the resource files that you have used to get the students started in the right direction. I quite like this idea of getting them to create the animation for themselves.

This project is designed to help students animate the methods of heat transfer. It was created for students with little to no previous experience with Flash and/or animation. There are samples of the final animations and pdf documents that work students through the process step by step.
