Teacher feedback:

• These winter science experiments were engaging while also being educational. We live in a cold, snowy climate, so the ice experiment was a great connection to how roads are treated after winter storms.
• I left this science activity that they did when I was out for knee surgery. My colleagues did not feel comfortable with science but this made them gain more confidence in teaching my students this.
• This was a great activity to do when we came back from Christmas break.
• During school closures, I could not figure out how to have my students complete investigations. I am SO glad I bought this resource! My students had a blast experimenting and recording a video for the whole class to see!
• Used with students in a high school SPED class, was awesome for scaffolding
