What educators are saying

I love these science units! They are well thought out and help my students with not only the science skills but reading comprehension. I wish there were some more accessible labs that didn't require many materials, though.
These resources were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This was my first time teaching this course, and once I found this product, I was way less overwhelmed. It was easy to plan out my days, and my students could follow along flawlessly. I will definitely continue to use this resource from year to year!

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth S. says, "This resource was great! You get so much for the price and all of the worksheet are super easy to use and understand. I was able to have great conversations with my students about natural resources that sparked from these worksheets. It was low prep for me to get ready to teach and share with my students. I would recommend this resource to any teacher looking to teach natural resources."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah D. says, "After several attempts to teach effectively using our Science textbook, I've decided to "chuck" it completely and use your products alone. I had your Interactive Notebook bundle to supplement my instruction last year and that was the ONLY part my kids remembered by the end of the year! I can't wait to own all of your Science units!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Patrice M. says, "This is great!! I love that the different forms of energies were in the form of reading comprehension passages. I opened all the passages on the promethean and after reading each passage aloud, students took turns going to the board to underline where they found the answers. It kept the students engaged and they were eager to participate because they wanted to go up to the board to underline the answers in the passage."
