Science Lesson Plans

Here are some lesson plans that address standards and integrate technology and your curriculum.

TISS - Technology Integration Scope and Sequence, though pre-dating Canvastic, has dozens of K-5 lesson plans that integrate standards based curriculum and publishing software. Canvastic will be an excellent tool for many of those activities.

Life Cycle Slide Show has the students draw, label and describe the parts of a life cycle of an animal or plant that undergoes changes. The stages of life are created on different documents, then those pages are assembled into a show. This activity take 2-3 class periods. The activity can be shortened by just producing one document that shows all the stages. Grades 1-3.

Relative Position and Motion Slide Show has students create a slide show demonstrating their understanding of the relative position of objects and the relative motion of objects in relation to other objects. This project can be used as a summative assessment of student understanding of relative position and motion. This activity takes about 5 sessions. The actual slides are created as separate documents and they can be combined into a show. Grades 4-6.

Write a Book(let) is a generic plan for publishing material in a booklet form. Publishing in this form can make any curriculum integration motivating and useful. Any content that has more than one part can be adapted to be published into a booklet. These booklets do not require printing on both sides of the paper!
