This is always fun! My students enjoy getting to do these.
This was a great resource with fun and easy experiments. Thank you.
Doing experiments like this using visuals to prompt and explain is such a great way to promote independence! The curriculum we were provided has some experiments in a similar format, but not enough for how muck the students enjoy doing them.
These are so cool! I was told I had to do science lab with K-5 SPED Self contained students, but no guidance so this is a godsend. Full of amazing ideas and easy worksheets!
I use this resource to start our science lessons for the year! Great activities!
My students have loved trying different science experiments and activities! Thank you!
Perfect for my functional skills class! They had a great time with this experiments
Love that these experiments are simple and easy to implement and engaging for my self-contained students
Great resource. such fun and easy to use experiments. easily adapted to all levels of learning in the classroom
As a special education teacher, I really appreciate that this resource is created in a way that removes barriers to learning for students who may not be able to read and write. I'm hoping to have a science experiment at least twice a month to keep learning interesting.
This is a great resource. It is a wonderful addition to my class.
These lessons were great as an add on to our science units. It made the concepts connect much better than just reading the story.
My students love using this resource to target their speech goals!
It is a great resource that engaged my students! Thank you
This has been a fun resource to do some hands on science without a ton of prep and with the visual instructions, all learners were able to follow along and participate.
My students really enjoyed using this resource. Hands on learning is the best resource for my students.
Please help...I can't print the sheets. It is asking for a password.
