Teachers Love It!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This resource kept my students engaged while learning about science safety. The slides include everything that the students need to know to be successful. Science Penguin for the win! - Summer P.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used this resource during the back to school time to teach science expectations, procedures, and safety. I like how engaging the resource is, how thorough it is, and how it uses real-life photographs. The interactive notebook pages kept students engaged, and I was pleased when they would refer back to them. - Belle

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a very helpful resource for the beginning of the year to get students ready to dig into science! It helps to lay out procedures and expectations beforehand so that they can jump right in, ready to experiment. Very thorough and informative! -Holly N.
