Where did this resource come from?
Our own classrooms! Within middle school science, connecting concepts beyond the classroom is often a subject that generates a lot of interest but can be difficult to do. We've found that exploring the real world around us really helps to solidify student understanding; hence Sciesmic was born! All resources are based on authentic sources and vetted for accuracy.
