Just for Teachers
Just for Teachers
Science World offers a variety of programs and events to support teachers and their professional development.
New green-themed online resources!
Developed by Science World's award-winning Super Science Club and tested by students and teachers, 13 free, curriculum-connected environmental education lesson plans are now available.
Lessons include a short, fun, interactive demo and hands-on activities where students create or build a project to take home and share with their families. By building a miniature worm compost to learn about decomposers, or playing torpor tag to investigate the characteristics of hummingbirds, students will explore and develop critical thinking skills about the natural environment.
