Once again Westphal has written a work that serves educators well. A great alternative to your everyday lesson plans for your gifted learner and also could be used in the regular classroom as well.

This is great resource for pushing middle level students and allows teachers who may not have a strong science background to feel more comfortable with science (especially chemistry).,Emily Lane,MiddleWeb, 10/31/19
