= Lesson Plans from 2012 Core Academy Science (Grades 6-8) = Dear Fellow Educators, This wikispace was created so that 6-8 science teachers across the state who attended Core Academy could share the lesson plans they developed during training. Please feel free to share this website with your colleagues. Anyone may view the content; however, if a teacher would like to upload lessons or add resources they need to become a member of this space. They simply need to email Morgan Murdock at morgan.murdock@wasatch.edu and then they need to click on join. Thank you!
