"The variety of activities / resources is just phenomenal!! My students love the digital notebooks- we did the first one at the end of the unit, but they asked if they could have it at the beginning so they could work on them throughout, and these notebooks have absolutely been a game changer! Having this wealth of items has really taken a lot of pressure off as far as planning-- thank you!!!" - Anna G.

"This is a well-crafted unit, easy to follow, and the students really enjoyed the different activities like the horsepower activity and the infomercial." - Sharon T.

"It can seem overwhelming at first when you open up the folder and there is a lot of files staring back at you - but don't freak out! Everything is in one spot and laid out in a way that flows and is quick to access. The provided lesson plan is great for using as a framework for your own lesson planning and includes suggested videos and extension activities. You don't want to use everything provided, if you do that, one unit could take an entire year; but there is so much there it's easy to pick and choose the things you want to use and integrate them into your state/district specific requirements (like reading the textbook)." - Kimberly A.
