Testimonials

“I’ve observed Mosa Mack used in class. Students are problem-solving, engaged, and collaborating: this is what science instruction should look like.”

Dr. Keisha Kilpatrick, Marietta Middle School, GA

"Mosa Mack embodies the idea of doing science as opposed to hearing about it. This is exciting."

Lance Huffman, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, Flagstaff Unified School District, AZ

“I can see how, when teachers use this, it helps them hone their craft. You’ve thought of everything. Content is one thing, but pedagogy is another— Mosa Mack has both.”
