• Have students work in science stations to identify states of matter.

Check out this feedback from teachers.

• This packet clearly lays out FOUR different experiments and makes teaching a breeze in the middle school classroom. I love how much scientific background knowledge is included and how clear it was to follow. Four more activities have been included!!

• Highly engaging activities for young scientists! Thank you for also including all the information a teacher could need on why the experiments work! : )

• My 5th grade started these labs yesterday and loved them! Very self-explanatory, allowing them to work alone without needing to ask questions every 5 minutes. They were able to connect subject material to each of the labs they performed.

• These are so fun! I'm always looking for engaging TBL activities I can use for ESL. Thank you!
