My Students

Have you ever attempted to understand science without actually conducting an experiment? My students are visual learners and the best way for them to learn is through experiments and experience. However, we do not have the supplies necessary to do this.

My students are inner city kids who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Due to their hearing loss, many of them are academically delayed and have many language delays. They are part of a program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students within one of the city's mainstream high schools. They mostly take classes within the program, but they have the opportunity to be mainstreamed into general education classes within the school if they achieve high grades and good regents scores.

My Project

My students are hard workers and always give it their best, but unfortunately this is not always reflected in their exam grades. I believe that if they had a more visual and hands-on way of learning science, they would gain a better understanding and therefore improve their test grades. Using these materials, they will be able to conduct experiments themselves, rather than just watching a demonstration. Also, the other materials will keep the classroom more organized and the vocabulary kits will all the students a place to glance to for quick reference when needed. With all of these new additions, my students will be able to become more self-motivated and self-directed learners.

Having these science supplies for the students will help my students gain the confidence they need in science and allow them to focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.

I'm believe that the hands-on approach will spark an interest in science for those who don't have one yet and encourage those who already do to strive for explanation.
