Units and Lessons

http://www.lesley.edu/middle-school/science-activity-plans/
Science in the Middle School should be taught using an inquiry, project-based approach, with students engaged in daily hands-on, minds-on investigations. This is then enhanced as they move investigations into their communities and participate in solutions to science and technology issues. This allows science teachers to integrate units with all of the other subject area teachers on their teams.
