Lesson Plans

 

 

Physics and Astronomy Lesson Plans

This site probably has the most extensive list of example lesson plans that I have ever seen.  I think they have pretty much every topic in physics covered.  The actual lesson plans are great, as well.  They are very detailed and thorough and usually not that difficult to incorporate into a classroom.  I would definitely recommend this site if you are looking for physics lesson plans.

SMILE Program Physics Index

This is another great site with a ridiculous amount of lesson plans.  It also ranges over almost every topic in physics, as well as a little bit of chemistry.  These lesson plans are a little more simplified in their material, so they would probably be more likely used in a lower level physics class, but they could also be fun and interesting lessons for the upper level classes.

The Educator’s Reference Desk

This site has a decent amount of lesson plans covering a variety of topics.  The list is by no means in comparison to Rutgers or IIT’s sites, but what makes this site interesting is that it provides lesson plans for all age K-12 and it also lets you know which plans are directed to which age groups.  The lesson plans are also really cool and on interesting topics, so this site is definitely worth checking out.

Physics Lesson Plans

If you are looking for lesson plans on the most interesting and exciting topic in physics, then this is the site to go to.  It doesn’t have a huge list of lesson plans, but the ones that it has are probably the most appealing topics to students.  These work well when students are starting to get bored or stressed with the regular content and you want to give them something interesting to do.

The Lesson Plan Page

This site also has a lot of cool and interesting lesson plans on it, but I would have to say that for physics there are a lot better sites to check out first.  What is great about this site is that it provides lesson plans for every subject of science ranging from ecology to psychology, so it is a great site for general science classes and teachers who teach more than one science subject.
