What Others Are Saying About Us
We will really focus on the safety and the making natural gas for nonrenewable and renewable resources standards. It is a great way for students to connect beyond the classroom to something we are learning in science.
Elementary Teacher
My students really enjoyed the activities on the website. I really liked the poster and that I was able to use the poster during our conversation and lesson.
Elementary Teacher
We have used the poster, online games, and the challenge booklet. It is an excellent way to inform students about energy, specifically Natural gas. It covers 4th grade science standards too. Thank you for doing this and making it very simple to implement in school. The students love it!
