Being able to conduct labs in a physical science classroom is very important. I have found that hands-on activities help students to retain the information and understand certain concepts better than just reading through the material. These materials will make labs run more smoothly as well. With a classroom set of meter sticks, my students will not have to wait for another group to get done using one before they may start their lab, and we use the meter sticks in almost all labs. With two more balances, I can place them in each corner of the classroom and not crowd the front of the room anymore. I only have a few working calculators in my classroom, they were leftover from the previous teacher and have all almost stopped working. My students are excited to be able to receive new ones, we use them. These materials will be helpful to not share materials and spread students out through the room, which is important with COVID-19 still a factor in schools. It is difficult sometimes to demonstrate a concept for students without proper materials. I am hoping I can give students the chance to succeed when school and laboratory supplies are limited throughout the school. I want my students' future science endeavors to be successful!
