The materials needed will be used to help my students learn at home using hands-on activities from STEM Kits. Most of our lessons are related to science and math which involve various supplies such as food coloring and craft sticks to name a few. The mini-lessons that I teach often have extension activities that tie into what was learned in class. These activities give my students the opportunity to still learn, have fun, and to complete our experiments whether it involves designing a prototype or learning how chemical reactions occur. The most exciting part of it all is that we will be able to do these activities together virtually!
