Check out this feedback from teachers:
- Very thorough resource on the respiratory and excretory systems! This product contains multiple resources, including nonfiction articles, vocabulary support, and doodle notes.
- The students love all the visuals. I love how it is chunked in certain pieces that help my students follow their notes as opposed to just writing notes on plain notebook paper. Very engaging.
- The activities were great for printing off and gluing into INB. They could then be taken home and completed during at-home workdays.
- My students really have trouble understanding the complexities of the respiratory system. This resource helped us think about carbon dioxide and not just oxygen. Great resource!
- This is a wonderful, useful resource to use to supplement Life Science respiratory and excretory systems.
