Giving Life to Science

Help me give my students a more inviting science center. Currently, the students in my classroom are very hesitant of entering my science center. It needs a pick me up to help my student gravitate to it often.

My Students

We are a new District Pre-K center in the heart of the Bronx. We had just opened our doors in September 2020, when we were asked to shut down and begin remote learning due to the rising rate of Covid-19. Quickly, teachers made bags filled with art supplies and activity booklets to send home with our students. Now at home, many of our students are struggling to find technology which they can use to join remote learning. Although the school may open up again in the upcoming week, we fear that our lives are now in limbo with schools reopening on one end and abruptly shutting down on the other. In the midst of Covid-19, our school was not able to get the technology necessary to keep our students engaged in their learning during this unprecedented time. While students will need to borrow and take the Chromebooks home to stay remotely engaged, the Chromebooks are necessary for the classrooms as well. Technology is used in the classroom to demonstrate knowledge of the relationship between people, places, and regions in the world. The need for ChromeBooks in our new District Pre-K center and for our bright young stars is essential.

My Project

The materials listed are for the science center in my classroom. Some of the up coming unit themes are life cycles, plant, water and light. I am looking to bring my science center to life using these materials. Science is an exciting subject but, often times it is difficult to teach it without materials. I cannot wait for students to engage with all the materials and be excited about science and learning more. I want to keep science alive in my classroom and create a more inviting, enchanting, and exciting science center!
