3rd Grade Science

These quests will take your students through the Land of Flek! Stepping off of the boat, they are captives of a ship. They must make their way through the island, battling bears, wolves, the creeping night, and so much more! The goal is to gather all the supplies and earn their freedom.

The quests are listed in order of the story. They are designed for standard mastery so each quest covers different topics under each standard. To follow the story, the quests must be completed in order.
