As a new 5th grade science teacher, I was really struggling with where to begin before our curriculum officially started so this back to school science bundle has been the perfect resource to review the scientific method and set the stage for science experiments for the rest of year. My students were engaged in each activity and we have our science notebook set up with all the great foldable notes! Very pleased.

This resource is great and breaks down topics very well, because each is almost its own mini unit; it is even good for sub work to help fill time, print and go!
