Teaching science can be rewarding but also challenging. As a subject, it constantly changes as discoveries and advancements are made. Unlike other subjects, science isn’t constrained in the classroom. There’s room for experiments and lab work that can help students apply the facts they learned from textbooks. It’s this very reason, however, that makes science classes so tricky to plan.
To be as effective a teacher as you can be, a lesson plan with clear activity guidelines and timing can help. The easiest way to create one is with Canva. By using Canva, you can customize your science lesson plan to suit both yours and your student’s needs, and the best part is, it’s easy! In no time you’ll feel prepared and confident in conducting your class in an orderly manner.

Share your lesson as a guide for activities
While they’re primarily meant to guide you as a teacher, lesson plans can also be shared with students. This can be especially helpful when you’re conducting experiments or group activities that require detailed instructions. Rather than writing it down on your board, you can simply project or show your lesson plan to your class.
Make the instructions even easier to follow by adding images or icons to illustrate each step. Head to the elements tab to browse through the various folders or simply use the search bar to find something specific. Once you’ve found the right image, icon or illustration, just drag and drop it into your design.
Highlight the most important themes for maximum efficiency
With a class full of students and questions being fired at you left, right and center, it can be easy to skip or even forget important ideas, topics or techniques you intended to teach. Luckily, you can use Canva to stop that from ever happening again! There’s a variety of ways you can create visual cues for yourself.
Try using stand-out background colors and fonts to make your most crucial lesson ideas pop. Change a topic header’s font style, size, or color. Append shapes like arrows or stars to mark important terms and concepts. With Canva you literally have a whole world of professional design at your fingertips. Highlight what’s important when you design your plan and make sure your most important lesson objectives are met.
Share and collaborate with your science community
Remember that science concepts constantly change so it can be useful for you as a teacher to collaborate with co-teachers on your curriculum. Get feedback, share ideas and best practices with your co-teachers. You can even work as a team with your colleague by giving them the ability to edit your designs. Just head to “Share” at the upper right corner of the page, choose whether to give them viewing or editing access, then send out the link.
