K-12 Science Lesson Plans
K-12 teachers of science in the school districts near UC Irvine have been designing lesson plans that utilize Internet/WWW resources. Some of these lesson plans are traditional in approach and some are quite innovative in the methods adopted for incorporating the resources into their classrooms. Each lesson plan has the same general format with one or more links to WWW resources that are to be incorporated into the activities as suggested.
