My Project

I would love to give my students the opportunity to explore magnetism through experiment design. This approach to learning allows children to take ownership over their investigations through the Engineering Design Process. Your donation will supply my students with a variety of magnet types, shapes, strengths and materials. These amazing resources will help them drive their own investigations. Students can hone in on their collaborative thinking skills to discover what they can learn! In order for students to work in an organized manner, I would love to find resources for exploration on Teachers Pay Teachers. Using a pre-made template will save me time in the classroom to facilitate their learning, rather than create templates for organizing their work. The discoveries and questions are endless, as long as they have the resources to explore. It is going to be so exciting to see what my students can achieve by working together!
