The Science Discovery Chest will allow my students to have hands-on experience in Life Sciences,Earth Space Science and Physical Science making these skills concrete both in the classroom and outside of it. For example, I would use the thermometer during our circle time when we discuss the weather and compare and contrast the weather outside vs inside the classroom. In addition, I would take my students into our courtyard with a Nature Walk checklist and magnifying glasses to explore our courtyard.
The My Body Magnetic Board will strengthen our science curriculum by making the body come alive in the eyes of our little learners. For example, when discussing the brain in our text, I would then divide the class into 2 groups, so each group can have access to the manipulative on the body board. I would then remove the brain from the board and allow each student to hold it in their hands. We would then compare and contrast what we read in the text verses what we feel in our hands. Furthermore, by having the boards available to students in small groups they can clearly see how the body function as a whole unit.
I am confident that this will strengthen their understanding in science and encourage a natural curiosity in stem.
