Each interactive lesson has...
a pre-assessment to activate students' prior knowledge
This includes questions, anticipation guides, KWL's and more!
interactive activities to formatively assess student understanding
This includes exploring links, drag-and-drop activities, typing in the text-box, matching, and so much more!
science content on the middle school level
The lessons are not as simple as elementary science, but not overwhelming as higher-level science can be.
