Lesson Plans by Grade:


Our lesson plans are developed to be a convenient resource for teachers to easily and effectively teach science in their classrooms. Lesson plans are grade-specific and align with California Science Content Standards. Each science topic is accompanied by a complete explanation, examples, and goals of the lesson, as well as an activity to engage students.
