Educator Resources
Attention NSTA Attendees!
Due to a technical issue, the following lessons will not be available on this webpage until March 30: Cell Phones and Politics: Who Decides if You Get 5G?, Marine Animal Tracking and Bathymetry, Radio Wave Scavenger Hunt with Morse Code Keys, Measuring Sea Surface Temperatures with Satellites, and The Uses of Radio Waves and Frequency Allocation. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The following lessons have been designed by licensed educators and peer-reviewed. Under the lesson description, you will find blue buttons that allow you to download teacher resources, including a lesson plan. The lesson plans are included as a guide, and you are not required to use them as written. However, these documents have been created using best practices. They include discussion prompts, culturally inclusive/responsive pedagogies, and techniques for engaging students. The green buttons below the description will allow you to download PDFs of the student resources. You are permitted to change any of the activities to fit the needs of your students.
If you use a lesson or part of a lesson in your classroom please fill out the feedback form. Your input will help us improve the quality of resources present on this page.
