Really Great Resource!!!

This resource is a great resource for any first-time teacher. First, the resource includes a great Scipack, coral reef ecosystems. Having completed this Scipack myself, I learned a lot about coral reefs and feel prepared to teach this subject in my future classroom. It includes comprehensive information about the topic that allows the teacher to gain knowledge on a subject that they may not know or completely understand. Also, it includes a great article on how animals navigated during migration. This was an amazing article that covered a topic that I did not know much about. This is a great resource for anyone who may not understand the topic or for someone who is brushing up on the topic. Finally, the collection also has a Scipack that focuses on the flow of matter and energy in ecosystems. Like the first Scipack, this Scipack gives great information to a teacher who may not be familiar or proficient in the topic of the flow of matter and energy in ecosystems. This was a great collection. Can’t wait to see your collections in the future!!!

Great Resource

This collection is a great resource to have. All of the resources here provide great activities and strategies for any classroom, especially for a first-time teacher. I loved the variety of the sources and the usefulness of each of the sources. First, the NGSS practices resource is one that is useful and vital to any science lesson. These practices help ensure that the lesson is engaging and challenging for students. Second, the four elements of the claim, evidence, reasoning, and rebuttal framework are also important components to have in any science lesson. The inclusion of this resource creates an encompassing structure for the entire resource. Finally, the collection includes an amazing article that emphasizes different ways to incorporate inquiry into a lesson. Again, this is a great article for any teacher, especially a first-time teacher, to consider. This article explains different ways inquiry should be done. Many science activities are confused between inquiry and hands-on. This article emphasizes the importance of knowing and implementing the difference in each lesson. Overall, this was a great collection. I enjoyed going through, reading, and analyzing it!!!
