Tools & Resources

The lesson plans were designed around California Content Standards by the K-12 Alliance designed and created specifically for completing the project. Although based on the CA standards, these lessons can most likely be used with other state's standard. If there is not a direct standards match to your state standards, you could:

A. Tweak the lessons to fit your state standard;
B. Use this as a model to design other lessons that better fit your standards.

Please download and read through the lesson plans. Each one will help walk you through the project from beginning to end. Good luck teachers! We are certainly looking forward to seeing what amazing new work you and your classrooms come up with this year!

Sincerely,

The DEC Team
