Why re-invent the wheel when it’s already been made … and it works! Teachers all over have made millions of
lesson plans and posted them on-line.
Now, they’re available for you to tweak and make your own. Take a look at some of the great websites
I’ve found that offer free, interesting, quality lesson plans!
DiscoverySchool.com,
The Lesson Plan Library: Affiliated
with The Discovery Channel, this website offers lesson plans by grade (K-12)
and by subject area. It is a great
resource for teachers to use to find new and interesting topics as well as
extra resources like “homework helpers” and a clip art gallery. This website can be a one-stop website that
helps teachers get great ideas and lessons!

There are over
2,000 free lessons on this website! To find lesson plans that match your needs,
all you have to do is perform a search, and you’ve got it!

The Gateway to Educational Materials
“The key to one-stop, any-stop access to high quality lesson plans,
curriculum units and other education resources on the Internet.” That’s a direct quote from their site … they
boast of great lesson plans, and they’re right! You can do a search on this website for all grades and
educational levels that apply.

Teachers.NetThis website allows you to
post your lessons for others AND view others so that you can use them in your
classroom. There are many links to all
grade levels. This website also lets
you know when new lesson plans have been posted.

The askERIC website is great for all sorts of research, and the lesson
plan section is no different. The
lesson plans are listed by subject and the individual lesson plan shows for
which grade level the lesson is appropriate.
