The document provides a list of free lesson plan websites, blended learning tools, and teacher resources for science teachers to use with students. It advocates for the use of technology in science classes but does not support the standard flipped classroom model, as that does not differentiate instruction based on individual student needs. Inquiry is emphasized as a way to drive student curiosity through questioning. The extensive list includes links for free lesson plans, science topics, science standards, learning modalities, citations, blended learning tools, Google Drive resources, online university classes and video lectures.

Blended Learning, Flipped Classroom
& Science Links
We advocate for the use of technology to be part of a science class, but we do
NOT advocate for the standard flipped classroom model of teaching. The
standard flipped classroom model does NOT differentiate instruction based on a
student's strengths and weaknesses, and flipping the classroom is not based
on students' prior knowledge and curiosity. Inquiry is what drives student
curiosity through the use of questions. Below are links to some of our favorite
lesson plan websites, blended learning tools, and teacher resources (and a few
related favorite sites) that we find useful for science teachers in high school,
middle school, and elementary school.
