My Project

My students are curious learners who enjoy exploring the world around them. During covid-19 these children missed out on being able to perform science experiments and getting to create group projects.

These materials will give my students the chance to look at the smallest details in a microscope, view with hand held magnifying glass and read for research.

Experiments and exploration through observation will happen as we dive into topics of the layers of the Earth, Botany, Magnets, the Solar System and Measurements.

My students love art and will be incorporating a weekly project labeled with their observations.
