There is a lot here, especially for lab sections...one needs lots of time to figure out what will work though.
—Jerry Cronin, Shash Bitoo Olta
What a great collection, super valuable for the first year or two of teaching any level of high school or middle school science, just about every good idea available for a life science class
—Dan Bartsch, Billings Senior High
