I needed one last unit to finish out the quarter, and this worked perfectly. The notes were easy to understand, the project was also a really neat. Some of my students did need to use a different link than what was provided for the research, but other than that it was wonderful. Best part: literally no prep required on my end! – Amanda H.
It really is no prep. I uploaded everything to my D2L for the students to work through while I was away for a sporting event. They were excited to tell me about what they had learned when I got back so clearly they were very engaged!! – Erin C.
This material is amazing! My students loved learning about explosives & I loved how teacher friendly it is – Thank you for making this available! – Tina C.
This was such a well worth the buy. Very thorough. I learned a few things as I taught/led the students through this project. – Sheila P.
