What educators are saying

This was a great resource that was easy to implement yet effective. Students loved the hands-on activities and it was able to reach all learners in my classroom.
Exceptional resource! The resource was well-received by the students, who found the images and quality of the visuals to be helpful in creating their models.

    Teachers Love It!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I love The Science Penguin units- they are thorough, well-organized, closely aligned to the standards, and easy to implement. I know the standards are being taught during our Science block, and students are actively engaged. I also love that the CER method is easily implemented into every unit. Will purchase every unit we need this year!" - Lindsey M

    Standards

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    NGSS5-LS2-1
    Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. Emphasis is on the idea that matter that is not food (air, water, decomposed materials in soil) is changed by plants into matter that is food. Examples of systems could include organisms, ecosystems, and the Earth. Assessment does not include molecular explanations.
    NGSS5-PS3-1
    Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun. Examples of models could include diagrams, and flow charts.
    NGSS5-LS1-1
    Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water. Emphasis is on the idea that plant matter comes mostly from air and water, not from the soil.
