Let's make sure this is the right fit.
Who is this for?
These sub plans are a great fit if you are:
- A 4th or 5th grade teacher who wants emergency sub plans ready before you need them
- Wanting science to keep going while you’re out, so it isn’t a lost day
- Looking for lessons a guest teacher can follow with a script
- Wanting a mix of life, earth, and physical science
Who is this NOT for?
These sub plans are probably not the right fit if you’re looking for:
- Digital lessons for student devices (these are printable only)
- A sub day without any paper (each student needs a copy of the Written Work)
- Sub plans for 2nd or 3rd grade
Let's go!

"This was great for sub plans! Nicely laid out instructions for the guest to follow and just printing on my part. Very convenient for me and engaging for the students. I enjoy having content for the students to still be learning so it isn't a loss of a day, if and when I have to be away and this did just that. I also got compliments from the sub who was thrilled to have something thorough planned for her and once again not me, ALL YOU. Thank you!" -Katherine R.

"My sub reported that the students were super engaged with the lessons and that they had great conversations about the topics. Love that the sub plans are so detailed that anyone could teach it! Looking forward to using these again year after year!"

"I used this with my substitute teachers when I had to be out of the classroom. The kids enjoyed it, the substitute found it easy to navigate and it supplemented my curriculum. It was a win!"
Cheri C.
"When you are not feeling well, have this prepped and ready to use. Every sub who’s ever had to use this resource raves about the ease of use and student engagement. It is so good and keeps your students learning or reviewing science."
