"My students found this engaging and a great review. They said they feel like I should do this sooner in the year and give more in-depth lessons on things they forgot about. This is a wonderful tool that I will continue to use."

"My students loved the layout and the quick and seamless practice from this resource! Kesler always has top resources and even though it's another state, it was very relatable to our state standards in FL."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept purchase orders from schools?

Absolutely! Just fill out a quote request form.

What materials will I need?

The Lone STAAR Launch was created with teachers' budgets in mind. Most of the stations won't require any additional materials, but some stations use perishable items and common pieces of lab equipment.

The digital versions do not require any additional materials other than PPT or Google Slides.

Can the stations be done online?

Yes, we have included digital versions of all 43 stations, including the practice STAAR questions.

The digital stations are still engaging and allows students to work independently.

Is the Lone STAAR Launch included in the Kesler Science Lab Membership?

The Lone STAAR Launch is a collaborative project with The Science Duo and therefore is not part of the Kesler Science Membership. All current and future Kesler Science classroom materials are included in the Membership.

Are all of the Readiness and Supporting TEKS covered?

Yes, the 5th grade Readiness and Supporting standards are covered.

How can I learn more about Professional Development?

How does the licensing work?

Each teacher needs their own individual license. The license allows teachers to use it with all of their classes. Professional development for Lone STAAR Launch is sold separately.

What is the difference between a teacher-purchased license and a school-purchased license?

A teacher-purchased license is paid for directly by the teacher. It is a one-time purchase and the license is owned by the teacher. The materials can be used only by that teacher at whatever school the teacher moves to in the future.

A school-purchased license is purchased for each teacher with school funds. It is a one-time purchase and the license stays with the school. If the original teacher leaves the school, they may not take the materials with them. Their login will be reassigned to a teacher of the school's choosing.
