Here is a list of the different resources that I have used for this lesson plan:

[|My Pyramid] My Pyramid, March 24, 2010, from [|www.mypyramid.gov]

This is a great source for many reasons. First of all it shows the students what the food pyramid is, and what the different levels of it are. The food pyramid has recently been updated to include exercise, so it stresses the importance of this to the students. It is a great tool to give students a basic understanding of health and nutrition, so they can understand what they need to do to be fit for a lifetime.

[|Inventions] Enchanted Learning Inventors and Inventions, 2000-2010, from []

This is a great site that I found with an extensive list of inventions and their inventors. For one of my assignments students had to come up with their own invention so I thought it to be appropriate that they explored and learned about other people's inventions as well. There is every invention you can imagine on this site, plus a small history of the invention and it's inventor as well.

[|Smithsonian Invention Timeline] Smithsonian, from []

This is a great timeline of inventions starting all the way back in the 1700's!! It is interactive which is great for kids and can teach them a lot. I really enjoyed this timeline, because it kind of takes you through the centuries and then allows you to click on the interactive stars to learn more about certain inventions as well. I think students will really like this and learn from it because they get to pick and choose what they want to learn about.

[|Tornados] The Weather Channel, 1995 – 2010, from []

I used this site for Tuesday's lesson plan about weather. The main site is the Weather Channel, and this specific page is on Tornados. The site in general is very informational regarding weather; you can find just about anything you want regarding weather on this site. The information on this page is amazing; it talks about what tornados are, the history of tornados, and what to do for safety during a tornado. These are only a few main points, but it is basically everything you need to know.

[|Lesson Plans for Teachers] Teacher Lesson Plans, 1996-2010, from []

This is a great site with a bunch of different ideas for lesson plans. They have lesson plans for grades K-12 for every subject that you can imagine. It is great because teachers post different lessons that they have used that seem to work well for them. The best part of it is that you can modify the lessons to fit your own curriculum, and class how you want.

[|Fun Workouts] Diet.com Your Nutrition and Health Secret, 2004-2010, from []

While talking about nutrition and health with the students, I thought it would be a good idea to give them some good ideas to keep them active. I found this blog on fun activities, and thought that it would be good for the students to know of fun things that they can do. There are four activities on this website, and they are things that students can do without really realizing that they are working out.

[|Teacher Lesson Plans] Learn It Teach It, 2009, from []

This is also a website that has lesson plans for teachers. What is good about it is that it contains all of the materials you would need. If there is a powerpoint in the lesson, it will be included. You can search this site, by subject, grade, or even by technology involved in the lesson. There aren't many lessons that are offered, but the content is good.

[|Integrating Technology into Your Lesson Plans] Strategies for Integrating Technology Into Your Classroom, from []

I used this site to find a few ways to integrate technology into my lesson plans. This site shows different ways to use technology to teach your students. It has ideas that you may not have thought of unless you visited this site.
