What if you could have access to middle school interactive science lessons from a variety of topics 24/7?

Yes! Yes! Yes!
 

Each interactive lesson has...

a pre-assessment to activate students' prior knowledge

This include 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.
