I was overwhelmed with the expectations to differentiate, keep all students engaged, ensure standards were taught and assessed, and know all the different teacher jargon.  It was a bit consuming of my time.  My students got less of me because I was up all night planning and making lessons.

As I worked on creating resources to engage my learners, I realized I had a knack for making complicated processes simple.  I begin to not only have success with my own planning, but I found myself helping other teachers to plan as well.  My students were engaged and my peers started reaching out for assistance.  

I know that these lessons, activities, and games will help make your job a bit less overwhelming.  

The use of these activities led to great gains in student achievement!  

Take the stress off and get started now!

What Is Being Said About Our Science Curriculums

 It is from looking at some of the materials that I am pleased with getting the whole set-physical-earth-life science series that I can also use with my Life Skills 6-8 students.  THANKS so very much! –Deborah

This is a fabulous resource for teaching life science. The kids were able to learn so much and engage so easily. – Sarah

Hard to get seniors to pay attention this close to graduation but this resource helped out. – Guy

I  have absolutely LOVED how this resource is set up! It is very engaging, with more to offer than just presentations and notes. I have been able to add in my own lab experiments, and have been able to modify and adjust anything that I have wanted to! – Chelsey

This has been a lifesaver so far this year as I learned I was shifting to middle school science five days before 1st day of school! – Jennifer

Absolute lifesaver!! – Margaret
