Free Physics, Health, Economics, Literature, Chemistry Lesson from Nobel Prize

Subbing in a high school economics classroom recently, I was left without lesson plans. Checking online, I discovered Nobel Foundation which has free printable lessons, games and activities in medicine, science, literature and humanitarian efforts.

The Nobel Prize crosses every geographic, political, social and racial boundary in the world. Winners of the prize called 'Laureates', hail from all over the globe. Past winners include Pablo Neruda, Pearl Buck, Desmond Tutu, Marconi, Enrico Fermi, William Golding, John Steinbeck, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Elie Weisel, Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and many others.

The work of the laureates has improved our lives in every aspect. They have cured diseases, improved economic conditions, harnessed atomic power, discovered vitamins, worked to end tyranny and oppression, led us in the struggle for freedoms and justice, enriched our lives with important literary works, shown us about DNA, just to list a few accomplishments. Who better to educate students than the world's greatest thinkers in medicine, physics, chemistry, economics, literature and world peace?

The Nobel Prize website is non-profit. Each prize has its own site. You will find free student -friendly resources which are sophisticated, important, well -developed and fun to use. There are online simulations, games, printable lessons and resources. You will find links to other significant resources.

On the prize in physics site, arrange a laser party and play laser challenge online. On the prize in economics plan your strategy to manage trade in an island nation using the Heckscher-Olin trade theory. Create a house using conductive polymers on the prize in chemistry site. Disarm nuclear weapons on the prize for peace page. Use white blood cells to fight off infection on the prize in medicine page. And on the prize in literature page, quiz yourself on Lord of the Flies.

You'll find quizzes, challenges, more games, printouts, and simulations based upon the work of different laureates. If you teach history, math, literature, chemistry, biology, physics, health, anatomy, social studies, economics or any branch of science, you'll want to be sure to check our www.nobelprize.org for loads of quality lesson plans.
