Lesson plans are well organized. Data sheets are clear for students and plenty of work space. Activities are age appropriate, Students with special needs need a lot of teacher prep: cutting straws, setting up water/balloons, Most materials are found in the classroom: straws, containers, water, rubber band, tape, boxes, It would be helpful to have parents save cereal boxes-
