However, they were most excited about the mini whiteboards. They love to use them to work out balancing chemical equations and to brain break games. They find the whiteboard allows them to make mistakes that they can fix without messing up their papers, which they love. \r\nThese materials have made high school science more fun for the students and made the classroom a place they want to be and want to work in.
