Science Lesson Planning Article L E S S O N P L A N N I N G A R T I C L E Think of your favorite science lesson from elementary school, and it probably won't be one that involved a lecture. Hands-on means heads-up! Teachers are responding to their students' need for real-life, experimental science activities. But where can you find them? The Web is brimming with great lessons for you, so build a guitar, make a raisin dance, or build a solar hot dog cooker. You provide the supplies, and the Net will show your students how to use them. Included: Bill Nye tells Education World that there is no substitute for hands-on learning! "One test is worth a thousand expert opinions," Bill Nye, the "Science Guy," told Education World. "There is no substitute for doing a science demonstration for yourself. Once you see it, hear it, touch it, taste it, or smell it for yourself, no one can take it away from you. Test on!"
