Igniting Student Interest In Science

Help me give my students circulatory systems, coloring books, and posters for the ability to fully comprehend the material in class. By providing them with visuals and engaging materials, they can practice and better grasp the concepts they are learning.

My Project

Currently, my students are struggling to grasp key concepts in their 9th grade living environment class due to the inequity barriers which has affected them throughout their school career. The materials outlined will provide them with the opportunities to not only visually see the materials they are learning about, but they will be able to actually engage in the materials they are learning in class through different modes. My goals are to bridge the gap of comprehension to very important materials that my students need to understand in order to pass the NYS regents and be successful in graduating High school.

My students are special because no matter what life throws at them, they are still trying their best to take charge of their learning, persevere through obstacles and consistently show up for themselves.
