What educators are saying
Liked the different set ups for printing and giving out the flash cards. Had lots of good information included in the packet.
This was a lot of fun. Helped the kids better understand and learn the constellations in astronomy class last year. The students also had fun treating it as a game. Saved me a lot of prep time and always helped if the lecture ended to soon.
