Community Review for Lawrence Hall of Science: 24/7 Science
My Take
I wish that they had more units that lined up with NGSS. Until then, I don't think I can use it too much
How I Use It

After a teacher driven intro, students broke out into groups and followed the steps for the activity from the website and recorded their data. This was great!

This would be decent to use as an introduction to a topic and a place to go to find information. It would be a tool that I could use to supplement a unit in Science.
