Science Ambassador Lesson Plans

As part of the Science Ambassador Program, participants will develop science lesson plans for middle and high school students based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) topics presented during the Science Ambassador workshop. Science lesson plans developed through the Science Ambassador Program bring current and relevant science topics into the classroom. The lesson plans not only meet National Science Education standards, but also challenge students to think about science in a new way. CDC’s public health topics offer students the chance to apply science in the real world. Students will begin to see science, and its relationship to public health, as a dynamic and exciting area of study.   Lesson plans from the 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 Science Ambassadors follow with a brief description of each. Click on the title of the lesson plan to pull up the complete document. Lesson plans are also available on the Georgia Learning Connections Web site and can be accessed by clicking on Standards Aligned Lesson Plans & Activities at http://www.glc.k12.ga.us/gei/NCBDDD/homepg.htm. Teachers from around the United States can use these lesson plans in their science classrooms. These lesson plans are based on information from CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. New! The 2006 lesson plans are now available!
