My Students

My students love to do science activities. Hands-on learning is more engaging for them. They learn more and they retain more. To do our chemistry labs, we need to understand the periodic table.

Our school community is a rural public high school in Hawaii.

Many of my students have mild and moderate disabilities. We are in a high poverty area with many of students qualifying for free lunch. Many live with single parents, relatives, or foster parents. Despite these challenges, my students are bright, and many aspire to go to college.

My Project

My students need interactive curriculum to help us master the periodic table including books, a DVD, a computer program, and a lab kit. I want to develop an interactive unit on the Periodic Table for my students. Many of my students are visual learners. I know they will find these activities more engaging and will learn more than with just traditional lectures. These items are durable and can be utilized this year and in the future.

Please consider showing your support for public education by making a contribution to my classroom.

My students are very deserving kids, and to help give them the best education, I need your help. Mahalo!
