Students are active meaning-makers who learn by doing. The research and our own experience as teachers proves it: Students learn best when they engage in hands-on, inquiry-based learning. This is especially true in science, where participating in scientific practices is just as important as your content knowledge. Because of budget restrictions in our school district, biology teachers at our urban, upstate-New York high school have no funding for the lab materials our scholars need to succeed. Due to COVID-19 all teaching and learning in our school is being done online. This has been a challenge for our science classes, as our students do not have access to the lab materials they need while learning from home. We miss a lot of things about how school used to be, but what we miss the most is the opportunity to do hands-on science experiments. The lab supplies from this project will be used by biology teachers at our school to create individual science lab kits that our students will use at home to supplement their online learning. Our students will gain valuable skills as they practice making measurements on objects in their own homes, look for patterns in the natural world, and create their own explanations for the phenomena they observe. Throughout all the difficulties we have faced trying to adjust to online learning this year, our students have remained resilient and inquisitive about the world around them. We want to give them the tools they need to stay curious and keep learning.
