The United Nations’ Cyber School Bus offers teachers a large number and variety of free lessons plans. The Cyber Bus provides links to country profiles, background information and explanations of current hot topics at the UN, and free webcasts of UN meetings and conferences. Probably the best feature of the Cyber Bus is list of available free lessons plans appropriate for all grades. The list includes lessons that can be conducted online (web scavenger hunts and interactive models) and off line.
