In the Classroom
Immerse students in hands-on, inquiry projects with these seven plans. Introduce them on your interactive whiteboard or projector and select a class project to complete. Have student groups choose a topic to research. Created for grades 1 to 5, with one for 5-8, any of the plans could be adjusted to fit any of these grade levels. The science kit lesson plans are free, and so are some of the resources they suggest using, such as Pics4Learning, <a href="/single.cfm?id=9515">reviewed here</a>. However, the Pixie and Wixie program that the lesson advises using is not free. Instead, use QwikSlides, <a href="/single.cfm?id=15636">reviewed here,</a> or RawShorts, <a href="/single.cfm?id=15998">reviewed here</a>. Be sure to bookmark these units for future use.
