Description Two related challenges face teachers on an everyday basis: how to motivate students and how to create lesson plans in order to overcome these difficulties. Motivated students have greater satisfaction within the classroom and higher achievement scores than comparable peers. Although many different motivational strategies and lesson plans do exist, they are often not combined in junior high science planning. These teachers must have access to a higher number of lesson plans that incorporate motivational strategies. The purpose of this project was to create junior high science curriculum with embedded motivational strategies and then share those plans with teachers. A unit was created that includes 10 different lesson plans embedded with three different motivational strategies: gamification, integrated arts, and ARCS. Lesson plans were then shared with teachers. Sharing these junior high science lesson plans will increase the number of available lesson plans for teachers. The embedded motivational strategies will aid teachers in improving motivation within their classrooms. By increasing the number of lesson plans with embedded strategies, teachers will have more options available to overcome the challenge of motivating their students.
