Teacher feedback:

• My students liked seeing the different opportunities for Scientists. The definitions were helpful, and the pictures were upper elementary appropriate. Good reference materials for thinking like a Scientist. The best part of this resource was the Google Classroom storybook pages.
• These are great! What a wonderful resource to include with my introductory What is Science? unit, and provide greater motivation for my students too. Thank you.
• The posters are great and really give a broad range of STEM careers. I really enjoyed this because we talk about STEM in school quite often, but we don't really focus on the careers that students can pursue in STEM.
• We used this to close out this year, and it was great for the students to match what they learned during the year with the different careers. There were some careers they wanted to learn more about.
• I work with students with emotional and behavioral disabilities and am always looking for ways to keep them engaged and actively participating in the lessons. Thanks so much!
