Education World has some great ideas and strategies, organized by subject, special themes, "Best of..(2002, e.g.)," first day of school, icebreakers, etc. Worth spending some time on now and returning to later - there's a tremendous amount of stuff there.

Their science-specific lessons aren't that great, but many of the more general strategies (especially in literacy) can be applied to science content. Also their back to school activities might be especially useful to those of us still planning for Monday!
