I use this whole resource as part of my instruction every year as I do not have a curriculum. It covers 5th grade Ohio standards and includes a variety of activities for students. I love everything I purchase from Science Penguin!
Kate M.
This resource allowed our unit to be more hands on and visual. It had multiple ways for students to interact with the information. This really could stand alone as its own unit.
Christina E.
My students loved this resources, because the items are really hands on. It is for all learners, those that learns hands on and those that learn abstract.
