The videos allow them to pause, rewatch, and answer questions throughout the lesson, which helps them truly understand the material rather than just memorizing it. Recently, we used an Edpuzzle lesson during our unit on energy resources. Students watched a short interactive video and responded to questions about renewable and nonrenewable energy. It was exciting to see them actively engaged and discussing their answers with classmates.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first started using the videos, they were immediately interested. They loved that the videos stopped to ask them questions and that they could check their understanding as they went. Many students commented that it felt more like solving a challenge than completing an assignment.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we can continue incorporating interactive lessons that help every student stay engaged and build confidence in science. Next, students will use Edpuzzle as part of upcoming lessons on Earth systems and environmental science, where they will analyze videos, answer questions, and connect what they learn to real-world issues.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped bring our science lessons to life.

Because of you, our students now have access to high-quality science resources, including doodle notes, interactive worksheets, and engaging activities that make learning exciting and meaningful.

Your gift has provided more than resources; it has given our students confidence, creativity, and a love for learning.
