Re: TEACHERS: Lesson Plan Ideas ?
I teach kindergarten and firsst grade sped., so I don't know how great I'd be at giving you a lesson idea, but try to search google for lesson plans. The internet has such great sites for teachers. It just takes a little bit of patients.
good lluck!

Re: TEACHERS: Lesson Plan Ideas ?
I just found this one. My DH just made breakfast so I didn't get a chance to really look at it.
I did a lesson on the solar system (actually a unit for technology) How about this....(I observed this)
The point of the lesson was to show how far apart each of the planets were from each other.
You need a roll of toilet paper, and cutout of the planets and sun. When I observed it the teacher had three and got two other aids to help in this. Each group went to a different part of the school with their TP.
You need a worksheet telling how many sheets of TP go between each planet. (ex. 3 between earth and mars and 300 between neptune and pluto) That is why you need A LOT of room.
You start with the sun and then lace each planet where the worksheet tells you to.
It was really a great lesson and it actually taught ME something. It was amazing to see how close some planets are to each other and how far away others are.
