Lesson Planet has been a huge help since I was in college. I have been a member all 5 years of teaching and use a lesson that I find through the site almost weekly. It's helped bring out my creative ideas and turn it into a fun lesson for my class. Most web sites cater to general education but this is a staple in my special education class.

Visit the Nebraska Studies website to learn more about pioneer women. Middle schoolers read information about homesteading while at the computer lab. They discuss their reading and complete a Document Analysis Worksheet. Additionally, they examine photographs and discuss information they can infer from them. This research activity would be a good opportunity to teach textual evidence and supporting detail.
Seventh graders investigate the physical states of water and about weather observations in the fourth grade when studying Earth and Space Sciences.This unit represents the next phase of learning about the topics of water and the weather.
Ninth graders investigate and use Newton's laws of motion to describe and predict motions of common objects in controlled experiments (e.g., balls rolling, wood blocks sliding) and in real-world contexts (e.g., walking, rollerblading, braking).
Students are able to make many differnt kinds of soaps. They are told that they must purchase a pre-made melt and pour soap base from a craft supplier, melt it, add soap colorants and fragrances and otherr additives as you like and pour the liquid into molds.
Learners construct a model of the hydrologic cycle, and observe that water is an element of a cycle in the natural environment. They explain how the hydrologic cycle works and why it is important, and compare the hydrologic cycle to other cycles found in nature. This is one of the most thoroughly thought-through, one-period lesson plans I've ever come across!
