I teach 5th and 6th grade science at an inner city school. We are a charter school, and our funding and additional resources are limited. I feel that it is important for students to be able to participate in hands-on experiments to help them make sense of the new concepts they might be learning for the first time. All students learn differently and hands-on is the best way for students to make connections to what they are learning. Students are very limited to experiences and resources in an inner city environment, so most of their new experiences happen in school. It's important, as a teacher, to provide the students with as many positive experiences that you can. You never know what students might have a deep love for science until they really learn about it. Students don't want to just sit and read out of a science textbook, but if you put a microscope or a beaker in front of them, they can find a new creativity or interest they didn't know they existed.
