My students are in a Title 1 District. We have many students who want to attend an after-school club, but their families don't always have the financial resources to pay for this. I will use these supplies, along with lessons from Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) for the start-up of this club. [Project WET is NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) recommended.] These supplies will help me teach science lab safety, basic scientific principals of "water", the importance of water to our everyday life and conservation of one of our greatest natural resources.
We will have fun learning and exploring science, literacy, math and social studies concepts - equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge to become empowered citizens. Safety goggles, beakers, pipettes, Petri dishes, flashlights, spray bottles, water funnels, fine mesh nets, drop dispenser bottles and liquid droppers will be used as the club's basic supplies and allow us to get science lab equipment into the hands of younger students. These items will allow my students to investigate the many properties of water through experiments that highlight concepts such as the properties of water, the flow of water, the contamination of water, and the conservation of water. Experiments and activities will include: H2O Olympics and Molecules in Motion Physical Science); Aqua-Bodies and Germ Busters (Health); The Life Box (Life Science); Blue Planet (Math, Earth Science, Geography and Health integration); The Thunderstorm (Earth Science, Language Arts and Math integration); A-maze-ing Water (Earth Science and Health); Common Water (Earth Science and History); Money down the Drain (Environmental Science); and Water Quality? Ask the Bugs (Life and Environmental Science). Students can learn science concpets through books and videos...but they can experience science with hands-on learning. These science materials will make the difference between learning it and experiencing it.
