Teach Green is a lesson plan resource for teachers developed by General Motors and Weekly Reader. Teach Green provides teachers with free lesson plans for teaching about fuel cells, energy, the environment, and vehicle technology. Teachers can browse the collection of lesson plans by topic, grade level, or national standard. I browsed through the lesson plans earlier today and found that most are available with detailed directions that can be downloaded as PDFs.

In addition to the lesson plans GM education provides some simple online games for K-8 students to play. The games are loosely based on the lessons in the lesson plan collection.
