Summary of Lesson Plans

The lesson plans included on this web-site are currently being tested with pilot schools in the Edmonton area. We welcome feedback on how these lessons work or don't work. Your feedback will be critical in developing the best possible resource for your classes. Following are brief descriptions of each lesson and links to them. Each lesson has background material for the teacher and students.

Our purpose is to provide a way for students to get excited about doing "real science" while meeting the requirements for Unit E Space Exploration in Alberta's new Science 9 curriculum.

Lesson One - Cosmic Collisions.

Lesson Two - The Nature of Meteor Showers.

Lesson Three - The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
