This resource encourages independent work among students in a fun non-intimidating way. It makes reviewing a breeze for both students and teacher. Print and laminate the cards for long term use.
Grade Level:
Grade 9 -11
I am confident this resource will be a valuable “tool” to help your students review biomolecules effectively now and for many years to come.
