This is absolutely one of my favorite resources I have purchased through TPT and I spend more than $400 a year! It has so many interesting aspects. My students really enjoyed learning with these labs.

I bought this lesson with all of my students in mind, but gave special consideration to my students that have IEPs and seem to struggle with staying on task. We're currently in the process of working through the prokaryote and eukaryote cells and I'm finding this to be so convenient for my students. It's something that they'll be able to easily refer back to also. Thank you for creating such a colorful, fun and useful resource!

Oh hey

Looking for something?

Whats Good

As middle school teachers, we only see our students for a short amount of time, however the impact we have can last a lifetime. There is no better feeling than to have a student visit me years later and tell me what a difference I made in their life.
