Are you uncomfortable teaching science concepts? Did you struggle to understand science as a student? Do you lack resources in your school to help you understand the concepts your students are supposed to know? My science units are comprehensive and include everything from content to games, research to projects, experiments to assessments. I guide your lessons, all you have to do is facilitate. Even if you are not comfortable with the content, my units will make you confident and efficient.

My products are MADE with your big kids and teens in mind. You won't find childish cartoons, hard-to-read and overdone fonts and you won't find crossword puzzles and wasted space. I take the time to ensure that my products are appealing to an older group of students, but still attractive, engaging and at their level. They are created for students in grades 4 to 8 in Immersion or French as a first language.

This massive 116-page document will give you absolutely everything you could possibly need to teach forces and structures to your 5th graders.
