New Guided Lesson Plans for STEM!

Science Buddies launches new Lesson Plan format Just in time for back to school, Science Buddies has launched twenty full-featured, NGSS-aligned Lesson Plans for teachers. These scientist-authored Lesson Plans make it easy for teachers to choose and lead an in-class STEM activity that meets curriculum needs. To help teachers bring more hands-on STEM into the classroom, Lesson Plans contain background science information for educators as well as guided resources for leading the activity in the classroom. Lesson Plan resources include a worksheet, a quiz (online or downloadable), and other supplemental materials. For teachers using Google Classroom, some Lesson Plan materials can be assigned. See our complete Lesson Plan walk-through post for a tour of the new format. The following Lesson Plans are now available:
