Grade 8 Science Cells – Teacher Feedback
- “This is hands down the BEST resource I have ever bought on TPT. It makes my life as a teacher so easy as there is very little prep. My students love all the activities – it keeps even my most difficult students engaged and focused. I highly recommend this resource, you will not be disappointed with your purchase!!”
- “This is a fantastic resource! It was an incredible time saver as I was new to teaching intermediate and was a bit overwhelmed with where to start. This resource was very well laid out, clearly followed the curriculum, and included detailed and clear lesson outlines, relevant activities and experiments, and quizzes to check for understanding. It was also very helpful to have the digital and print options for hybrid teaching.”
- “This is an excellent, thorough unit. There is so much in this unit I probably don’t have time to cover everything, but I appreciate the variety of lessons, activities, and assignments. I love how easy it is to use this with Google Classroom and be completely paperless in my classroom. Thanks!”
- “A great resource that allows me to work with my 7/8 split. The students are engaged while completing the work and I find it easy to supplement the content with my own. Thank you!”
