These materials will give all the students at my grade level, a chance to create, observe, and explore scientific models. The aluminum pans, sand, and pipe cleaners are for students to create a model that will to enhance their understanding of weathering and erosion. The mirrored sheets and paper cups and popsicle sticks will help students to understand light and reflection. The plastic spoons, rubber bands, dominoes, binder clips, popsicle sticks, tooth pics, and pipe cleaners will allow students to use engineering practices to understand energy transfer. The blind folds, tweezers, clothespins, spoons, pearls, beads, rubber bands, straws and tooth picks are to create various models, experiments, and activities to learn all about animal and plant information processing and survival. Teaching science without a hands on curriculum and resources for my students to explore phenomena for themselves has been incredibly challenging. These materials will help with that!
It is my top priority to make sure ALL students are able to actively participate in their own learning, and they feel comfortable and safe doing so. To further this goal, I know the copy paper, card stock, and laminating sheets will allow me to create math centers, and other beautiful engaging lessons to meet the diverse learning needs of my students. My students are eager to understand the world around them and apply mathematical and engineering practices to deepen learning, so we can use timers during experiments, and to monitor progress and growth. I also hope that the flexible seating options like the standing desks and the floor mats, sanitizing wipes and masks will help my students to feel more comfortable and safe while learning, and enable us accomplish so much more!
