Teachers Love It!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a wonderful resource! The students love the stations and being able to move around. They were highly engaged, and had many questions about animal adaptations afterward. I will be using this for many years to come. -Brianna W.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students loved using this resource to learn about different animal adaptations. It was such an engaging resource. I loved that each station focused on different skills and different interests. Some of my students loved drawing, while others preferred the videos, or reading stations. Very well done! I will definitely be using it again. -Cassandra F.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students absolutely loved this resource. It was a nice change from our standard way of completing our science tasks. It was fun and my students loved the independent factor. After everyone made it through each group, we assessed our learning whole class. It was a great resource! -Alissa M.
