Lessonplans

Lesson Plans for Teachers

Eureka! Lesson plans are submitted by members of the Eureka! group. They are intended for use in the high school or college classroom. They may be adapted to fit a certain level of students or a specific unit of study. Objectives and guidelines are listed for each lesson, and student handouts are attached to each page.

Please report the success of any of these lessons in your classroom. Feedback is important for knowing how and when to use the right lessons. Feel free to share trouble spots, too!
