What marine science teachers are saying about this bundle: "I have waited to write a review on this resource because I can't put into words how amazing this resource is! There is so much there, and everything is done in a style that is visually appealing to my students and very interactive. I appreciate the ease of incorporating the materials in with ones I have been using. I love the ability to use the materials on our digital platform, but I also love how many of the assignments work well on-paper. I love being able to edit the materials to meet our particular standards of learning and to meet the needs of my students. I teach regular and co-taught classes, and find I can easily edit them to meet the needs of the various levels. The amount of time I have saved by using these materials is priceless. The creator is always super-quick to respond to my questions, and is always updating, making corrections and adding content to this resource. I have purchased other marine science bundles and curriculum materials from other creators, but this one is, by far, the one I use the most." - Jennie P. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This has VERY modern and visually appealing format to it. I think it is very well organized and designed. I've only taught Marine Science for 1 year, so having this to supplement the other resources that I've put together was really helpful." - Neysa C. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a LIFE SAVER for me as I started marine science at my school. The lessons were very similar to how I teach biology with checkpoints and discussion opportunities during notes and very engaging activities. Thank you!!
