Science Supplemental SEED Storyline Lessons
Description: The Utah Office of Energy Development has created some lesson material that teachers can use in conjunction with the current curriculum, which is based on the SEED Storylines. These lessons are designed for K-12 students and include hands-on activities that connect to Energy and Energy Resources. They have been viewed by the Teaching and Learning Department and seem to be great resources for teachers to use district-wide as supplemental lesson material.
