TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anoria said, “It is a great resource to use along side the novel. The best part is it promotes thinking and problem solving through real world tasks.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicole said, “My students LOVED these experiments. They were soooooooo creative with each one. My ELA partner had the students read HOLES and I did these STEM projects in line with them finishing up the book. I was Madam Warden for the day in the classroom and turned my room into Camp Green Lake. So much fun and very engaging.”
