Jessie Miller's List: Lesson Plan Resources

This site provides chemistry, physics, and conceptual physics lesson plans with downloadable labs. There are also links to forensic, outdoor, and biology labs.

NASA provides educators with resources that can be sorted by grade level and topic. These resources include classroom activities, lesson plans, posters, video clips, and websites.

The PhET site displays teacher-shared lesson plans, labs, homework assignments, and demos that correspond to the PhET simulations. All sciences are represented, and the results can be filtered by grade level.

"In this unit, students fully investigate linear motion. After reviewing essential mathematics concepts, students are introduced to laws of motion, velocity and acceleration, vectors, and Newton's Laws using a series of teacher-prepared slideshows. After students have a thorough understanding of these basic concepts, they prepare brochures illustrating a real-world problem related to motion that answers the Unit Question, How do the laws of motion describe everyday events? Students illustrate the problem, show how to solve the problem using physics principles, and use spreadsheets to enter data and graphically show some aspect of the solution. With a firm understanding of these principles, student groups create a survey designed to gather information from the community about a given road hazard. The community data is used to prepare a slideshow presentation that will be presented to the city planners. The goal of the presentation is to persuade the leaders to make changes to a dangerous section of road or intersection."

For 11-12 grade physics classes

This site allows teachers to search by topic, grade level, and resource type. There is a "rich problem, inquiry, or explanation" option that I find helpful.

This site provides lesson plans for all science disciplines, and also gives lesson ideas to connect with topics outside of science.

You can search for lesson plans by content area and grade level. The ODE site includes lesson plans for science, math, social studies, technology, English, art, and foreign language.
