My Project

Almost everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by cancer. I want to teach my students the science behind cancer and the cell cycle. I want my students to see, feel, and experience science. Students will learn about several common types of cancer. I plan to set up stations around my classroom where students can work with a partner to see and feel tumors associated with the various types of cancer. Each station will have a microscope with slides of cancer biopsies and an anatomical model to see and touch tumors to experience what they might feel like during a self-exam, three of those models will be provided by this project. Students will better understand how cancer develops and spreads. They will get to feel the Human Breast Model and learn that both males and females are able to get breast cancer. They will also learn about male cancers through the Testicular Cancer Models. Students will gain knowledge of a variety of topics including cells, cancer, anatomy, and the importance of a healthy lifestyle and self-checks.

Donations will improve our school by giving students an opportunity to learn about cancer in a more meaningful way.

It will help my visual and tactile learners to gain a deeper understanding of cancer and cells. It will make students aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and self-exams as well as other important cancer-related topics so that they can share with others.
