The donations to this project for bar magnets, pocket scales, stopwatches, electromagnet set, headphones, a kingdoms of life set, a bulletin board set, and other scientific instruments will allow students to have access to scientific instruments to help practice and advance their skills in making precise measurement to mimic what scientists do in the real world. In addition to the scientific tools, students will practice using erasers, pencil sharpeners, pencils, markers, glue sticks, construction paper, tape, colored pencils, easel pads, scissors, crayons, markers, and other general art supplies that they may not have available at home due to being in a low income/high poverty district to develop and present their research/work that they have done in the classroom.
Students love to show how creative they can be when provided with an opportunity to do so. They also want to be engaged in their learning environment and can feel that they're at the same level as their peers in the classroom when their socioeconomic background isn't obvious due to the lack of materials that they bring into the classroom.
By providing donations for simple yet accessible materials such as crayons, markers, scissors, what you're doing is providing my students with the opportunity to be on equal footing with their peers because the expectation of each other isn't what objects the students can bring into the classroom but rather their knowledge and how they can develop the skills necessary to do scientific work and presentation to the class.
