TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lalanie M. says, "My students used this for their Science Lesson on Force and Motion. They really enjoyed the labs which is what I initially had been looking for to pair with some readings on force and motion. However, there was so much information and reading in this resource, that we used these lessons, along with the labs, for the entire week. Very fun and engaging!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Christy W. says, "I used this to enrich my unit on force and motion. The students studied the articles and used what was learned to write an informative piece on the chosen topic."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carol G. says, "Great integration of writing and reading into science. Each piece could be used in isolation or altogether for an entire unit. Great resource!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lisa K says, "Thanks for a great unit of scientific discovery. I have a number of your other science units and really appreciate the reading passages and hands on activities. The word wall posters are also quite valuable as I work in a high ELL school where many students find science vocabulary words particularly difficult. Your materials support differentiation - many thanks!:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leah Moore says, "It is so amazing to find resources that are fun, engaging, easy to use, and aligned to the Virginia SOL's. Thank you for your hard work!"
