I absolutely loved the fill in the blank notes that go along with the powerpoint. The extra worksheets really helped my students apply their knowledge and better understand the differences. Very engaging.

I think that this would be perfect for 4th or 5th Grade. Was a little too advanced for my 3rd graders to do independently. Overall, a great resource.
