My Project

I teach a diverse population of learners. I will have 5 different languages, not including English within my class. I will be able to develop language skills with true hands on collaborative science lab experiences for all students.

As we investigate animal adaptions, the students will be able to investigate the cellular makeup of animals with the microscopes.

From these observations students will determine how these cellular patterns contribute to their survival. From therewe can explore how it impacts their habitat, how to help endangered species, and answer questions about possibilities of sharing genes among the animal world.
