I love project based learning because students are learning and teaching each other. My students will be working in collaborative groups to make telescopes as part of our science engineering STEM project. The magnifying glasses will be use to make primary lenses that will be attached to a card stock paper tube. The students will use the duct tape to secure the tube to the magnifying glass. Last, the clipboards will be use to do research, take notes, and make design plans prior to constructing the telescopes. The students love collaborating, cooperating, and sharing their ideas to achieve a common goal. Won't you please consider donating to this project?
