“All the mini-lessons have been amazing this year. And this opportunity to create our own has been incredibly rewarding! The students are so proud of their work and it has helped us to end our school year with a wonderful feeling of success. Thank you so much for helping us teach science this year. My students LOVE Mystery Science!!!”
“My 6th graders have been watching your episodes weekly so they were very excited to do this project as their final science project. Thank you for laying everything out for easy use! ”
“We loved the step by step instructions on how to make a video. We are doing this as an end of year project. It is great!!”
“As we are ending our year tomorrow, we only had three days to produce our videos, but they had a marvelous time researching their questions and writing their scripts. Today is filming day! I'm using my ClearTouch board as their studio background with your STAY CURIOUS logo as their background, since we won't have 1-to-1 technology until next year. Can't wait to see what they do! Thanks for inspiring my students, and ME!”
“The best part was having the detailed instructions so the students could be successful in creating their own videos.”
“Great Project. Just the questions my students were researching was enough to impress me. The finished projects were amazing! Look out Doug! Your job is in jeopardy!”
“Making the slide presentation with the template... the kids LOVED! it.”
