Teacher Feedback
- “A great resource that allows me to work with my 7/8 split. The students are engaged while completing the work and I find it easy to supplement the content with my own. Thank you!”
- “Great resource, love that it had experiments included!”
- “This is a great resource to help new teachers grasp the concepts of the Cells Unit. Lots of engaging activities. Especially in this pandemic when the switch from in-person to virtual learning happens more than desired, having the option of slides to distribute online or in-person helps to keep consistency in the subject. Another great product from 2 peas and a dog!!”
