I will be graduating next spring and although that may seem like a long time I am already excited and nervous. I am wondering if anyone can help me with tips on inquiry lessons with grades k-5. Is it best to just use NGSSS for ideas for lesson plans and activities? Or are there other resources I can use?

Mellisa this is Awesome. I am also graduating next Spring. I like to use lessons and ideas from the PBS and Smithsonian websites.

Hi, Yeyyy congrats! I will be graduating next semester in Spring 2016 excited but in the same time I'm scared... PBS is a good source because my friend is a teacher and she told me she mostly use that and it's really helping her. Also I will say try to use Pintrest , I.G and You Tube because there are many lesson plans and many other things people post there and which is helpful for us to use in our classroom as a teacher.

Hi Melissa! Congratulations! I know how overwhelming it can feel RIGHT NOW! I'm working with a new science teacher in exactly the same place, and am blogging about the specific steps we are taking to get her prepared so that others (like you) can benefit. Hopefully this page will help: http://fornewscienceteachers.blogspot.com/

Hi Melissa, I am graduating in the Spring as well! One website I seem to always come back to is www.discoveryeducation.com. Not only do they have teacher resources for science, but for other subject areas as well. Good luck, and I hope that helps!
