Intermediate Science Lesson Plans

Intermediate Science Lesson Plans are available from the Columbia Education Center in Portland, Oregon, they're aimed at science educators and students alike and provide some very useful templates for education. Sciencebase also provides a range of science experiments that can be carried out as part of an extracurricular program. The following is a brief list of the science lesson plans available from CEC:
