What other teachers are saying

  • Students were highly engaged with SciJourneys Lesson 1 and loved participating in the Question Web Challenge. I have noticed an immediate improvement in how students ask, answer, and debate higher level questions as a result of teaching this!

    Winifred Waters, Horizon Science Academy Southwest Chicago, IL

  • I loved the visuals that showed habitat loss and fragmentation within the video...I also loved the various perspectives presented, it felt like the information was presented in a way that allowed students to form their own views.

    Stephanie Rapciak, Greenwich Country Day School, CT

  • Just the overall presentation and quality of it is next level. My students are very engaged and love the lessons. The first data graph analysis allows them to create their own graphs based on their own words that they're searching for, so it really drew them into the intrinsic value of looking for answers.
