FREEBIES!! For Teachers

The following is a list of resources that I have written to to receive free educational resources. I have received everything from videos, to lesson plans, labs (somtimes with equipment), posters, coloring books and activities.

Unfortunately, some of these resources may be outdated or dead ends because I have had them over three years. I will have an updated list, including the specific items you can ask for sometime during the '96-'97 school year.

I have tried to categorize the resources according to what information you can expect, and have written descriptions for resources that stand out in my mind. Enjoy.
