Absorb and Repel Inquiry Experiment for Early Primary Students
This resource was created in response to a student inquiry.

MATH LESSON & MATH LAB on Really Big Numbers!
Most people can identify numbers in the millions, billions and trillions, but few people actually know the names for some really big numbers after that!

Students get a "kick" out of learning about really big numbers that they were never able to identify before now. They walk away feeling empowered and ready to share their knowledge with others! In the MATH LESSON, students
