I work at a school where English is the students second language, and the vocabulary pages were awesome especially, when you have an opportunity to draw a picture to go with them. The children are highly tested on the water cycle and really have a difficult time differentiating between all of the different steps. Everything was a wonderful asses to have.

I purchased this unit for our first home school science unit. I think the presentation on this looks good. I liked having slides – I used the tv to show the pictures vs printing them in fill color. I didn’t like that there is no answer sheet, only a rubric.
