- By Jennifer Elmo.
- Heaven or Groundhog Day?
- This unit is designed to appeal to adolescents with its non-print text base, the movie Groundhog Day. The pre-viewing activities prepare students for the allusions in the movie and include cultural literacy. The teacher can pick and choose from the activities to apply the concept of personal growth. The teacher may select from activities for science, workplace ethics, music, computer competency, and English language arts. The teacher may modify any of the attachments to suit the students' needs and interests.

- By David Melton and Julia Millush.
- The hero connection: From Beowulf to Batman
- After reading Beowulf,students will identify Beowulf's heroic traits, generalize from these traits a list of typical traits for heroes, and then use these traits to compare Beowulf with contemporary heroes. As a culminating activity, students will define their concept of hero and then create a booklet of personal heroes from various areas.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Arts)
- By Hilda Caldwell.
- Highlighting revisions, glossing changes
- By highlighting their revisions and explaining (i.e.,glossing) the changes they have made to a draft of their work, students will not only become more proficient writers but will also become more conscious of the process of revision and thus more reflective writers. Further, teachers will find it easier to monitor and evaluate student revisions.

- History of astronomy scavenger hunt
- A unit on astronomy inevitably and rightfully begins with a look at the history of astronomy. This activity provides students with an opportunity to learn the basic facts of the history of astronomy by using the internet.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science and Social Studies)
- By Mark Clinkscales and Carrie Palmer.
- History of atomic theory
- This lesson is developed for a regular low level physical science class. In small groups, students will use media and written script to learn and teach each other about major contributions to the development of the atomic theory.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Development and Science)
- By Anya Childs and Rhonda Garrett.
- Homerun hoopla
- This lesson is designed for students to gather and analyze data about baseball figures. The student will use the Internet or other resources to collect statistical data on the top five home run hitters for the current season as well as their career home run totals. The students will graph the data and determine if it is linear or non-linear.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Mathematics)
- By Anne Walters.
- How do chemists measure?
- In Why does chemistry matter in my life?, page 2
- In this lesson, students learn about metric conversion and scientific notation by completing a lab in which they mix a gold solution with a sodium citrate solution and observe the subsequent chemical changes.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Lisa Hibler.
- How do we help the American chestnut tree?
- In Restoring the American chestnut, page 4
- In this lesson, students learn about biotechnology techniques necessary to create a transgenic organism from start to finish. Students will create a poster that illustrates processes such as DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and gene splicing.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Shelley Casey.
- How much heat can a phase change produce?
- In Why does chemistry matter in my life?, page 7
- In this lesson, students apply knowledge of heat energy and phase changes to real-life situations. Students watch demonstrations of an endothermic and an exothermic reaction and use formulas to solve phase change problems. A literary passage and a video help students apply critical thinking to the lesson.

- How to make a linkage map based on phenotype of offspring
- In Restoring the American chestnut, page 5
- The approximate distance of two genes that are located near each other on the same chromosome can be determined by observing the phenotype of the offspring and calculating how the results differ from the expected Mendelian cross. This lesson walks students through those calculations and shows how to make a linkage map of three traits on the same chromosome. It uses actual traits found in American chestnut trees to teach this concept.

- By Shelley Casey.
- A hula hoop is like a racetrack: Calculating the circumference, radius, and area of a circle
- In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 10
- In this lesson, students will use hoops of different sizes to explore geometry concepts such as circumference, area, and radius. They will also use indirect measurement and calculate percent of error.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 Mathematics)
- By Roxanne Moses.
- The human atom
- Students will act out the role of atoms by dressing up as the atoms of designated elements. They will wear costumes with balloons representing valence electrons. The “atoms” will gain or lose valence electrons in order to achieve chemical stability. The students must then identify the charges of the ions formed.

- By Kamie Wine.
- Human responses to eroding shorelines
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.16
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students look at efforts that are taken to prevent shoreline erosion. These include building hardened structures along shorelines. Students examine the effects these efforts have on barrier islands.
