"This resource was so helpful as a first year teacher in Texas teaching 5th grade Science. I 1000% recommend everyone teaching 5th grade science in Texas to purchase this resource. Your students will grow so much and enjoy doing the work provided in this package. It's worth every penny. I also appreciate how easy it is to follow and find resources for every TEK. THANK YOU!"

"I am the science lab teacher at my elementary and love these resources! I use the hands on portion in the lab and our classroom teachers use the unit study guides, slides & notes and extension activities. We bought licenses for our 3rd-5th grade teams and it has been a game changer! On our first checkpoint over Organisms and Environments our campus scored highest in our district. We are very excited to have the Penguin at our school!"

"I love that it includes everything I need to teach for every unit. The lesson plan provided is easy to follow and every unit aligns to the standards and state test. I have been able to save so much time using this resource and it has been my sole curriculum this year. It is rigorous and even includes intervention material for students who are struggling."
