Hi everyone, We are planning on developing some Common Assessments for 1st-5th grade in Life, Earth and Physical Science. I was wondering if anyone had some ideas where to start or places where some examples already exist? Thanks so much Chris

One of the Best Scipacks

This was truly one of the best scipacks I have taken! amazing information that helped me learn about the expanding universe. Loved the videos and analogies to explain difficult concepts.

Great Review of Geology

I was impressed with this sci-pack and the use of many analogies I could use in the classroom to help my students understand hard to visualize concepts in Geology! Well Done!
