As a first year teacher, this is PERFECT! I don't have to waste time overthinking my wording on questions I've designed or chosen. I don't have to worry about covering all the standards. I don't have to worry about being biased, and it's great practice for my students to practice wording they'll find on standardized testing. This has been just amazing.

Amazing, high-quality, real-world applications. I love the station set up to get students moving around and collaborating with each other. Students are able to practice analyzing graphs, which is a huge part of their end-of-year state test, using a variety of charts, tables, graphs, and images. Love it!

It's always wonderful when you find a resource that is ready to go and aligns with the lesson perfectly, and this one does just that.

GREAT resource!! Students were way more engaged with this format than with the typical 'packet' you find elsewhere for evidences. Short, sweet, to the point to cover all the content and allowed for more student-led discovery. My students enjoyed :)

I work at a school where the majority of the students are Latino. They were very ecstatic to learn about what contribution Latino's made to the Science community. I could see the awe and proudness on their faces.

 This bundle was very helpful as I revised my Climate unit. I used each of the resources, and my students' feedback was overwhelmingly positive. These are "keepers"!

This is an excellent resource. Lots of interesting info about zebra mussels, but the graphing activity is what makes it so great. Fantastic thoughtful questions about the graph that make the students analyze and predict. Loved it!
Ashley K.

The lab was one of the favorite activities of the year. Everything in this packet was aligned to the standards and worked perfectly. Kids loved it and I was so thankful to find such engaging activities. Thank you!

This is a great resource!  This resource was so thorough & comprehensive and was easy to implement with my limited resources and space, which was a huge plus for me! It was also super engaging for students to review cellular respiration. I'll definitely use this again and again!
