There are so many great resources in this pack! My students were so engaged with the activities. This helped my students build a deeper understanding of the standard. Thank you!

I'm in the middle of teaching this right now and I love the activities you include. I've been teaching about the moon for 3 years now and your resources make it so easy for students to understand. I especially love the simple hands-on activities. I usually avoid science hands-on activities because it's usually SO MUCH. I love simple hands-on activities because it saves time and students still get more than what I would usually be able to do with our curriculum.

Highly engaging and a fun way to review old TEKS and to go over new TEKS. My students loved all the activities and begged to do more. Science Penguin has such amazing resources geared toward students.
