See What Other Teachers Are Saying . . .

⭐ Great resource!  Lots of good options and examples.  I was especially please that it took a potential "dry" topic like soil and made it interesting and engaging for the students.

⭐ My students loved the unit on soil. The activity to go with the lesson was a wonderful experience and I will use it in my classroom next year. 

⭐ This was perfect to use in my STEM Lab!! I loved this resource!
