Lesson Planet has been my place to go in order to find great additions to the curriculum. The lesson plans and worksheets I have found have been perfect for the lesson plans I had already planned. Because all lessons are reviewed by teachers, I know that every lesson I choose to look through will be pertinent and standard oriented without the fluff.

Students investigate how the human body self-regulates to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment -- a process called homeostasis.
Students develop their self-regulation, self-motivation, and self-awareness. In this special education lesson, students use a basket of sensory tools to improve their self-awareness and motivation. They choose items from the treasure chest at the end of the lesson.
Learners develop an ability to distinguish between simple error, misconduct and fraud. Students are lead to consider a widening circle of the consequences of misconduct and fraud. They expand their knowledge on the self-regulating nature of scientific research.
Students explore the concept of being a recording artist. For this recording artist lesson, students determine the costs of producing various music products such as a demo tape, 8-track tape, and a record deal. Students discuss supply, demand, and perform a cost-benefit analysis of their various products.
Young scientists discuss the results of carelessness during experimentation and the temptation to misrepresent findings. These activities are intended to develop the ability to identify scientific error, misconduct, and fraud.

How can you choose healthier foods by reading the nutritional labels? Your class will discover how companies market food items to make them enticing and how to check the food labels of those items to see if they are healthy. They listen to a lecture and then work in small groups to practice finding nutritional information on the side of a cereal box. This lesson includes a resource link.
Students see what it means to be a smart consumer by engaging in a level-headed analysis of budget, opportunity costs and self-regulation. They compare prices within a service field, and weigh the choices of spending money on that item.

Clear the air with this persuasive writing activity, in which middle schoolers investigate smoking bans. Helpful as a cross-curricular health lesson, the assignment prompts young learners to brainstorm reasons why people smoke and reasons why smoking is a bad health habit. They read and discuss news articles about smoking bans and then write a persuasive opinion paper using evidence from these sources.
Examine stories with a moral in a character development lesson. The class reads a short story written by Benjamin Franklin in which he pays too much for a toy whistle. Individuals then make text-to-self connections and write a narrative describing a time when they misjudged the price of something.
