I have to develop a lesson plan for
a health unit on "What Makes Us Grow"
based on a class size of 15 children.
I have to include objectives, the
time required, materials needed,
learning activities, measures for evaluation, and any teacher resource
information.
Does anyone know of any websites that
can help me? This is for elementary
school children.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You!!
All of us have been through this: We will be happy to critique your lesson plan. Some of us are certified observators/evaluators.
Make certain the objective is measurable. Include a variety of activities to suit a variety of learning styles. Keep it simple. You can evaluate your own lesson plan, using the written criteria for evaluation for your state.

Hi Thalia.
As a teacher, I absolutely HATE writing lesson plans. It I could do my job effectively without it, I would.
Luckily, as I get more experienced as a teacher, I can rely less and less on formal lesson plans and just outline what I will be teaching and remember the lesson plan in my head. But that is something that will not come your first year of teaching.
So, while you embark on this wonderful journey, let me point you to the following web site:

It is a fantastic resource to help you write up a lesson plan and provides questions you need to consider.
I hope this helps!

1. Teach Starter (www.teachstarter.com): This website offers a range of resources, including lesson plans, worksheets, and activities, specifically designed for elementary school teachers. They have a dedicated section for health and physical education lessons that could be helpful for your health unit.
2. KidsHealth in the Classroom (classroom.kidshealth.org): This website provides lesson plans, activities, and videos on various health topics. They have a section specifically for educators, where you can find lesson plans related to growth and development.

When developing your lesson plan, make sure to include the following elements:
- Objectives: Clearly state what you want your students to achieve by the end of the lesson or unit.
- Time required: Determine how much time you will allocate for each activity or learning task.
- Materials needed: Identify any specific materials, props, or resources required for the lesson.
- Learning activities: Plan engaging and interactive activities to deliver the content. Consider incorporating group discussions, hands-on activities, or visual aids to enhance learning.

Remember to keep the lesson plan age-appropriate and consider the individual needs and abilities of your students. Don't forget that flexibility is key, and be prepared to adapt the lesson plan as needed during the teaching process.
I hope these suggestions and tips help you develop a successful health unit lesson plan. Good luck with your teaching!
