The moment my students saw the new resources, their faces lit up with excitement.

One student exclaimed, \"This is the coolest stuff we've ever had in class!\" Since then, it's been a whirlwind of creativity and engagement.\r\n\r\nOne standout project involved using the new materials for a cross-curricular assignment that blended science and ELA. Students worked in groups to research a scientific issue, then used graphic organizers and visual aids to present their findings.
