What our customers have said about this product:

***Great Resource!!! Especially loved the part about our dependence on Oil--very politically neutral! I really love letting my students stew in facts and not opinion! (Thank you Kathleen L!)

***Lots of great information! Perfect addition to my resources unit! (Thank you Taylor D!)

***Finishing up natural regions, doing a quick pit stop for national/provincial parks, then heading into natural resources before the Winter Break! This will help guide my students and I wonderfully! Love the info pages - my teaching style is very "integrated", so the students know that the reading will fall under ELA and we will use reading comprehension skills to complete SS curriculum! (Thank you Madame Madison!)

Thank you for your consideration! Happy learning about natural resources from the Brain Ninjas!
