RESOURCES
K-12 LESSON
PLAN SITES
Finding lesson plans on the Internet is extremely easy to do. The key
is sorting through the thousands available and finding the ones that are
suitable to your classroom, curriculum and students. There are three types
of lesson plans that are available on the net.
Basic
Lesson Plans
These are lesson plans that are written for teachers. They are intended
for teachers to use with their students. They do not depend on a live
Internet connection to do the lesson. They are a great way to generate
ideas for your next lesson.

Interactive
Lesson Plans
These are lesson plans that are written for teachers to use with their
students. Each lesson includes the information to do a lesson and the
links to further the lesson using additional Internet sites.

the information that the
students use comes from links to sites on the Internet.

SCAVENGER
HUNT SITES
There are
two types of Scavenger Hunts
Treasure
Hunt
This type of scavenger hunt is designed for students with computer &
Internet skills. The creator develops a series of questions or requests
using key words and students use a search engine to locate sites that
have the answers.
(I find these to be the least useful for elementary students).
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/ces95/scavenger.html
An Internet Scavenger Hunt
Guided Tours
This type of scavenger hunt uses several Internet sites that have been
researched by the creator. The creator finds web sites related to the
chosen topic and creates a list of questions and the
URLs where students can find the answers.
