Do you teach Science, whether it's departmentalized or collectively with all other subjects? Let me help make the journey a bit easier! In my class, we love to learn and roll up our sleeves to get our hands a bit dirty! After all, Science is typically referred to as a student's “favorite subject,” and that really shouldn't be a surprise when the learning is F.U.N.!!! That's why having Lesson Plans that are already completed (and easy to follow) is the way to go! These lesson plans for matter in science might be the best place to start.
LESSON PLANS, NOTEBOOKS, AND MORE … OH MY!
You read that right!! When I created this product, I had my classroom in mind, as well as the feedback from peers. I initially began many years ago with “leads” on what we should be teaching, but there were never enough materials, nor a curriculum… and let's face it, my district did not want to spend thousands of dollars on it either. So I started with Science Notebooks, accompanied by quizzes, and then created study guides to distribute before those. Before long, I had a well-organized FAB routine and began creating lesson plans (with slideshows) to use as well.
GOING DIGITAL? THAT'S HERE, TOO!
So naturally, before COVID-19, I had already created the notebooks digitally. Many of my students were frequently absent, or we had the privilege of testing out new Chromebooks, so I knew I wanted to give my students the opportunity to experience learning from a digital perspective. These complete guided lesson plans can also be opened and used digitally. There are links for videos embedded (as well as in the digital notebooks). The digital notebooks are fully accessible in Google Slides, with study guides and assessments available in Google Forms. My mission was to make this as easy as possible for the teacher who may be like me …. EASY MODE! I truly thrive when I have less on my plate. I can put more focus on my students and the material I am teaching and what they are learning. I feel more at ease when I have a plan!
SO … WHAT'S THE PLAN?
Inside each science product, you can find a lesson plan. The lesson plans range from 7 to 12 days in duration. They allow you to see which standards you will cover, as well as the outline for the lesson being taught. There will always be an introduction, and then you will be taken straight into Day 1. Each page is labeled by days and follows a “Materials, Teacher Modeling, Guided Practice, Independent Work, and more!” layout. There are videos embedded within the document (as well as the slideshow). The instructions resemble a “you do this” approach, with a note section at the end of most pages. Over time, it becomes second nature and much easier for you to enjoy the “Science” things in life!
BONUS PLANS!!
There are four total Science Units, each comprising five lessons. This means a total of 20 lesson plans, each with over 4,000 pages of materials, all completed for you!! You can purchase the lesson that applies to what you're teaching, or the bundle it's in. Additionally, there is a YEAR-LONG, fully guided lesson plan bundle!
There are many unknowns about how our day-to-day lives will feel once we return, whether it's face-to-face or virtually. Why not ease your mind a little and know that you have lesson plans you can mark off right away!

HI! This looks like an amazing set of lesson plans. I have checked out the example lesson plan for lesson 1. Is the lesson assessment on day 8 available digitally, perhaps in Google Forms?
Hi April,
Great question! It IS available in Google Forms. Actually, each lesson comes with both a physical copy and a link to provide the assessment in Google Forms. The study guides are also available in a Google Form format.
