What Teachers Are Saying
“
When I heard about this course and that it was 5 hrs of training on the web, I thought it would take a week or more to get through it. The opposite happened! I got my kit, watched the first lesson and was HOOKED! I couldn’t stop. The children are going to be sooooo excited to do these experiments. I can’t wait for school to start.

Taking this workshop helped me connect some great literature with science in the classroom! Julie & Steve gave me great ideas on how to make my science more inquiry based and how to guide my students to ask more questions and take risks!

Definitely not a rehashing of old, tried and true primary kitchen experiments. The ” use it now” activities and curriculum connections presented in this workshop are worthy of spending personal time and money to experience.

This workshop was enlightening. It’s so refreshing to be able to teach science through literature and experiments instead of through text and tests.

This workshop helped me to understand the science behind the activities which made teaching or sharing it with the kids so much easier and fun for both me and them. The kids I have attend my programs have loved what they have learned and can’t wait to come back.

This workshop is a fun way to link fictional literature and science – two topics that typically don’t “go together!” The presenters are entertaining and do a great job at demonstrating the experiments in simple ways, yet also show how to take the knowledge up or down a notch depending on the age group!
