What are teachers saying about this resource?
"I left this for a sub and it was a HUGE hit! The kids loved it from start to finish! Thank you for making science so relevant to their lives! :)"
"This was a great activity for students to be able to learn about resources and complete some research. The set up was great for all of my students. Thank you."
"During this difficult school year it has been such a relief to find lessons like this that I can break up into smaller segments to remind students about what we have been learning. Since half of them are not in the room with me it is difficult to review and keep things fresh when I am not always with them. This was the perfect compliment to our unit on Food Webs and Human resources. Thank you so much for making it clear and letting students read through and be able to answer simple questions to show they understand. "
"This is an important and highly engaging resource for Science Units to sort through which materials are renewable or nonrenewable."
