Students have been isolated by COVID-19. This pandemic has placed significant pressure on our efforts to encourage collaboration and communication among our students. This pressure can only be addressed by providing safe and appropriate spaces for collaboration among students. Science is a collaborative endeavor. Science teachers must develop more space for such collaborations and provide more access to creative spaces for students to communicate their learning. Creative spaces require supplies for demonstrating such learning and collaborative thinking. Scientific modeling is one key component of creative, collaborative, problem solving, and one should expect to see quality scientific modeling learning opportunities in effective high school science classrooms. Science is about providing explanations for the world around us and conveying our thoughts to others with evidence to support claims. The best way to achieve this is through modeling. Scientific modeling is central to two of the three dimensions of science learning defined by the National Research Council's 2012 Framework for K-12 Science Education. According to the NRC's framework, students should be using scientific models to represent understanding of scientific systems and processes as a part of Dimension 1-Scientific Practices & Dimension 2-Cross Cutting Concepts, which in turn lead to mastery of Dimension 3- Disciplinary Core Ideas. Per the NRC, scientific models should evolve and change over time as students seek to explain natural phenomena and process inquiry experiences related to scientific investigations. With these supplies, students in our department will be able to produce models as groups and discuss their understanding with peers in order to develop and mature their conceptual understanding of a scientific phenomenon & inquiry experience. The materials listed requested will be used to support creative thinking, peer tutorials, develop anchor charts and promote more collaboration and communication among students.
