*These are not lesson plans,
nor will they tell you how to teach. Time needed
will be determined by detail given to activity, your schedule, class length,
etc.
Many will require specialized equipment, training and/or supplies. Student
sheets will identify clearly what is expected of them in the activity or module.
"Don't tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results." George S. Patton
