Teachers Love It!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love The Science Penguin units- they are thorough, well-organized, closely aligned to the standards, and easy to implement. I know the standards are being taught during our Science block, and students are actively engaged. I also love that the CER method is easily implemented into every unit. Will purchase every unit we need this year! - Lindsey M.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was an amazing resource! We used it as stations and my students were all engaged and it was such a great learning tool with minimal prep for the teacher (aside from collecting lab material and making copies). I suggest making the copies as a packet for students. Thank you! -Sarah K.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The stations were easy to set up and students stayed on task as they moved from one to the next. Students were engaged and had fun completing this activity. -Jennifer F.
