My Project

Students are always curious about science. This means that they will question what they see and formulate their hypothesis about their natural World/phenomena. I believed that as educators, if we provide them with the tools to probe and investigate their curiosity, they will discover new learning for themselves which can lead to further investigation and explanations. Therefore, if given manipulatives such as the science station kits for climate and weather, earthquakes, astronomy, enzymes, sling psychrometers, compasses, photosynthesis and genetics which appears abstract to them, will re-engage them in learning science through experimentation which will justify or support or refute their claims.
