Free Lesson Plans
IEEE has developed several activities originally developed as part of Teacher In-Service Program Training into lesson plans that teachers can use in their classrooms. Each lesson is tied to educational standards, and includes teacher summaries, student worksheets, and activities. Find a topic of interest and download the lesson as a PDF file. Many
lesson plans are also available in Spanish. (Planes de la leccion en espanol).
