Many of our students have difficulty learning from an old fashion lecture or reading on their own approach. They are below grade level and struggle with the general education curriculum that they are expected to be taught. Many lessons have to be broken down and made simple, so that it is in terms they understand. I often have to start with lessons that are grade levels below their age in order to build prior knowledge. They excel when they are encouraged to explore and problem-solve with a hands-on approach. Students' eyes light up when they find out about the different science projects they will engage in. They love to work with their classmates and share their findings. They come out of their shells and a different side of them is seen that may not be seen in other learning situations. These materials will allow them to actively participate in exciting activities they normally would not be able to. They will be able to grow their own plants, look at animal/plants parts up close under microscopes, learn about their 5 senses, and just have fun creating different things like slime and playing with magnets. Some students have never seen a magazine/newspaper and the scholastic news will not expose them to these reading sources but they will also learn about fun science topics while reading through them or just looking at the pictures. The 180 days of science will help me come up with different topics and facts to work with them on. These materials will help with our entire K-5 students throughout the school year.
