Teachers Love This Unit!
Zoe ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied I used these with several classes at different grade levels to introduce and reinforce the idea of variables and experiments. Worked great!
Samantha ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied In my school, we are supposed to teach variables at the beginning of the year. This was a great way for students to understand how to identify and use the variables in an investigation.
Students will only need simple materials for their investigation (a tennis ball or toy car, a tape measure, different surfaces like tile or carpet)
