Our last science unit of the year is all about weather. This was a perfect addition to our learning. The students were engaged and excited to complete these activities - they loved watching the videos included, searching for pictures, and completing the research, while also putting their stamp on their individual work. I loved that it was so educational and engaging, that I could edit the files and adjust the slides as needed, and that it was very little prep on my end. -Learning by the Lake

My students are beginning to use this resource. I love how the links were already available and the students are able to interact with the slides. -Kaylee K.
