Hi! Just a thought, I’m not sure all states cover the same things in 8th grade. I’m specifically looking for cheap, easy labs for waves, forces and motion, plate tectonics, earth layers, and earths biological history. 🙂 I love your resources and Kesler science. You save me a ton of time!

Thanks for commenting, Anna! This has been a very popular request. We will add it to the list of future blog posts.

Hey Stacey! Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for commenting and the kind words. 🙂

Hi Jennifer! We are not currently using close reading in our school. We will ask around for you to see if any of our teacher friends are and how they use it.

Hey Michelle! We don’t have anything in our store for for Pre-AP or AP Biology since we are middle school teachers. Sure do love biology though!!! Have you checked out Amy Brown Science, Biology Roots, Science with Mrs. Lau, or Tangstar Science? They are all high school experts and I believe they have biology resources. 🙂

That seems to be a hot topic! Thanks for commenting. We will definitely add that to the list.

Thanks for the comment, Shanita! We will definitely put that on our list. 🙂

Thanks for the comment. We will take a look at that! The circuits are a favorite of our students. It can be a little chaotic at times, but we love the conversations students have while working through the activity.

We did robotics last year at our school and we were 2 of the 8 sponsors for the club. We learned just as much as the kids…hah! It was a ton of work starting the club and the bots are not cheap, but the kids absolutely loved it. There were mini competitions throughout the year and a major competition at the end of the year. We used the Lego Mindstorms program and bots.

Thanks for the comment! We have known several teachers that have done that. It is definitely not easy.
