Lessons+Created+2010

Below are lessons created by Dufferin-Peel secondary science teachers in 2010. They serve as initial attempts to create working documents of lesson plans for //The Ontario Curriculum, Science 2008// that incorporate inquiry, differentiated instruction and a variety of assessment strategies (as, for, and of learning). Those with theicon were written in the summer of 2010 and include a sample unit outline whereby some lessons have been fully created (those hightlighted in the unit outline).

These lesson plans serve as examples and teachers are encouraged to amend, revise, edit, cut, paste, and otherwise adapt this material to meet the diverse needs of their students. Please consider providing feedback via the discussion board.
