Unit Lesson Plans
Cognition ~ 3 Lesson Unit Plan
This lesson plan is designed to teach a
broad range of concepts related to cognition and thinking in a variety of psychology classroom contexts. The various content outlines, activities, and critical thinking exercises were written with the purpose of allowing individual teachers the freedom to pick and choose the activities that fit the needs of their classroom and the diverse learners within it.

More Lesson Plans
Gender ~ 4 Lesson Unit Plan
This optional lesson plan includes information that may be useful for
teacher background even if it is not used in the classroom. Individual
school and community considerations will help determine what content or which activities are appropriate to include with students in class. Every individual has a gender identity. Therefore, understanding and discussing gender is relevant to all students and all teachers.
Educators have a significant impact on the ways children and
adolescents perceive the world through the inclusion or exclusion
of identities and cultural narratives. For some, underrepresentation
can lead to feelings of disequilibrium and exclusion.
This project was supported by a grant from the American Psychological Foundation David and
Carol Myers Fund to Support Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools. The authors thank
Tracy Cohn, PhD, and the APA Committee on Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity for
reviewing this lesson plan.
