As an educator for Pre-K to college students for nearly 25 years, I appreciate time-saving curriculum such as this one because it allows us to get straight to what we need with less information and more attention to the foundation of what we will do to ensure a well-thought-out science activity for our children." --Professor Tabelech Shipp, STEM outreach consultant for The MYGEMS Science Center and College Chemistry Professor
