Anchor Lessons

 

Anchor lessons are opportunities to provide students with the needed knowledge and skills required for successful completion of an Odyssey unit. These particular lessons are optional for any Odyssey, but they will engage your students in hands-on learning and provide them with concepts related to science-process skills and environmental health content. Because of their hands-on nature, these Anchors can also be run as stand-alone lessons or can be easily incorporated into any inquiry-based experience. Use these lessons as you see appropriate for your classroom and your students' investigations.
