Can I use your lessons in my classroom?  What about copyright?

Yes, you can use these lessons in your classroom, within your science department, within your school district, or distribute it to any teacher that may find these lessons useful.  I only ask that:

  • You can not sell these lessons or make a profit on them in any way.

  • You cite the lessons original source, and do not white-out the copyright footer on the pdf files.

  • Do not copy and paste lessons onto your website.  A link to the original is to be used.

  • Do not claim these lessons as your own work.

Why can't I see or read .pdf documents?

In order to read .pdf documents, you will need to download and then install Adobe Acrobat Reader onto your computer.  It allows Macs and PCs to read the document.  It is a FREE program located at the following web site:

  Why can't I find an answer key?

I do not post answer keys for many reasons.

  1. I don't want students searching for an answer key while they are doing an assignment.

  2. I just don't have the time to make them for all the lessons that I have posted.

  3. I feel that if a teacher wants to use one of my lessons or worksheets, they should be able to fill in the answer key without a problem.
