Creative way to integrate both creativity and interactivity.

I absolutely love this website! It's very helpful in creating ways to increase student engagement!

This is one of the most detailed and useful content based tools that I have reviewed but it is only free to try and not all units are available to use with the free version. I do love how it includes everything I need to use for the lessons immediately. After reviewing the materials I have all of the instructions and student directions to use in my classroom. I love that the content is presented as a comic, making harder concepts less intimidating to students. I also think the hands on activities are great and love the connection the engineering activities have to the Next Generation Science Standards. The student roles are very useful for managing the group work. The lessons break up the students into the following roles: the Technician, the Materials Manager and the Recorder. There are also grading rubrics for the assignments, vocabulary warm ups, mind maps, reading comprehension questions and exit tickets. The lesson plans include answers, visuals for lab set ups and the rubrics. The introduction to the units also include common misconceptions for the content being learned. This is an extremely useful tool for teachers to anticipate student questions or student comprehension before they begin the unit.
