Subject: [ATM] simple Galilean Scope

Hello,
My 8 year old son has a science fair coming up and I want us to build
a simple Galilean Scope for it.  And I only have experience building
Dob-Newt's (up to 30").  Can someone please direct me into the realm
of lenses for constructing this simple scope?  Edmund Scientific? 
Double Convex?  
These are all new terms to me.
I just want a simple two lens system to help him win the science fair
8^).  Actually I just want to plant the ATM seed in him 8^).
Oh yeah, I'll need these lenses in a couple of days since the science
fair is drawing near and I just found out about it today.
Thanks for all your help.
-Bill Mitchell
