Teacher Feedback 

  1. "Don't hestitate and get the bundle. This resource has been an absolute life saver. The lessons are engaging, the activities are fun, and the students are retaining the information they are learning through these lessons. Thank you for creating this resource."
  2. “This resource saved me hours and hours of time. I am new to teaching science this year and this has allowed me to have something to rely on. I supplement it with issues in our area, but I could use this resource without supplementing it. All of the resources by 2PeasAndADog are outstanding. Well worth the price for the time I save and the quality of material.”
  3. “Wonderful resource that made learning fun and planning easy! Students were engaged and enjoyed the learning activities!”
