Lesson Plans from the SMILE Program

There are hundreds of free lesson plans available at the SMILE (Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement) website hosted by the Illinois Institute of Technology. SMILE was a summer program for teachers that ran from 1986 to 1996. Participants were required to present and submit a lesson. This collection of lessons is classified by subject area. There are lessons in Math and Physics as well as Biology and Chemistry available at this website.

Within each subject area, lessons are further classified by topic. To find lessons appropriate for your age group you can look at the name of the school of the teacher who submitted the lesson for the level (elementary, middle and high school.)

Wow. That's a great resource with a lot of lessons. Thanks! (I'm a math teacher- truly a math geek, really) I'm always looking for great new lessons and ideas.
