Teacher Feedback 

1. “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!”
2. “Great resource, love that it had experiments included!”
3. “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!!”
