This interactive ebook and the content covered within the book proved to be extremely useful in developing my 5th grade lesson regarding the changing states of matter. There were several different activities throughout the ebook that allowed me to brush upon previous knowledge as well as building upon new knowledge. The different sections of the book that included vocabulary, definitions, comprehension checks, and quizzes allowed for easy transitions between new concepts. I wanted a lesson that was engaging and interactive, and I found that with this ebook! I was able to make connections from previous chapters and explore topics more closely to develop a deeper understanding of the materials. Due to the large amount of text on each singular page of the book, I do suggest taking notes throughout your learning in order to become prepared for the final assessment at the end of the book. Overall, this was a great resource with an abundance of useful information that I can use in the creation of future lessons as well!

This e-book gave a very in-depth review of the properties of different elements. It focused on much more than surface level knowledge as it dove into many different scientists, theories, and explanations as to why different elements have the properties that they do. I found the interactive diagrams in the book to be very helpful and gave me a good understanding of properties of elements. They made the book more enjoyable to read and gave me breaks from reading long strings of text. The quizzes were difficult, but a good check as to whether I was really soaking in the details of the book while reading it. They were not just asking me to recall information from the text, but apply knowledge learned from the text to different situations. I felt that they prepared me well for the final assessment. Overall this book gave me a lot of knowledge for the lesson plan that I carried out, and I would recommend this book to anyone looking for in-depth knowledge of properties of elements.

This e-book was very helpful in supporting the development of my lesson plan related to matter and particles. I really loved the interactive reviews that were included throughout the e-books, they helped supported my learning and helped me better understand a way to teach children about these topics. Furthermore, the e-book quizzes were relevant to what was just discussed in the prior section of the book. I found them challenging as they tasked me to apply knowledge that was just learned to different situations, which further developed my understanding. Overall, I will continue to reference this book for future lesson plans as I felt as though it did a great job preparing me with accurate background knowledge needed to teach the material.

This e-book was very useful in learning and reviewing information about the elements and molecules that make up matter. The quizzes at the end of each chapter proved to be very helpful when attempting to determine how well I understood the content in each chapter. Additionally, I found it helpful that a variety of key terms were highlighted throughout the text and had a definition linked. These definitions helped me develop a better understanding of the text and the concepts described and shown in the text. I also appreciated that the text was full of activities that helped me to recall connections that I have learned in previous courses. I felt the text was broken down well. My one concern with the text is that there were a few chunks of pages that were only text and I felt visuals would have helped support my understanding of the concepts I was reading. Overall, the text was very informative and incredibly useful in helping me plan my lesson about matter.

This interactive ebook was filled with great information, models, reviews and more. I really enjoyed reviewing some information I already knew as well as learning a ton of new material. The pages are packed with information, so I recommend taking it slowly and taking notes along the way so you can get the most information out of this experience. Thats what I did and I had no problem when it came time to take the final exam. My favorite aspect of this ebook is the layout. As a beginner to this website's ebooks, I found it extremely easy to navigate and learn from the book. It was divided nicely into coherent sections that included vocabulary, definitions, comprehension checks, and quizzes. When all of the sections are complete, there is a final exam to take but it is nothing to stress over. As long as you took notes and were engaged in the reading, the exam is a breeze. Also, for the exam, when you got an answer wrong, it referred you back to specific sections to relearn and find the information you were missing. This is a really good way to test your knowledge and see how much you genuinely learned from the material. The interactive ebooks are an amazing study and learning tool for everyone and I can't wait to explore the other ones they have!

This E-book was very helpful to reviewing and learning material about elements molecules that make up matter. The pages are full of informational text and includes a lot of interactive components to it. While being very informative, I found that taking notes while I went along was very helpful because the pages can include a lot of text. I also appreciated how some of the key terms were highlighted and provided us with a definition. In addition, it included several stops along the book that allowed me to review what I have learned and check my understanding. This topic is one that has several components that go into it and can be complex to understanding. I thought this resource did a great job of breaking it down into different sections when reading/learning. This was helpful because it allowed me to see what concepts I have mastered and which ones I may have needed to go back and check on. Overall, I thought this was a great resource, full of information that I could use and included helpful tools that were easy to work with.

This is a topic that really gets to me at times. I would have liked little jokes here and their but other than that no complaints. It is definitely interactive and informative. I have learned a lot and was able to ask questions to my father who is a biology teacher. Although its a lot of information, I recommended taking notes and or printing and writing notes on it.

I really enjoyed all of the different activities throughout this scipack. Most of them allowed me to recall connections that I have learned in previous courses. My only gripe is that some pages are full of text without any pictures or things to break up the information. While I know it is important to take in all of the information, it can make the pages difficult to look at and stay engaged with. Also, I feel like there are some areas that can be condensed and more concise. Overall, I feel like this is a great refresher and a very helpful tool!
