My Students

My students are currently 6th Grade Science students at a large, urban middle school in Brooklyn, NY. Many of them come from a diverse set of academic and cultural backgrounds. A majority of our students are new to the country and are learning science for the first time. They face many challenges with the language and curriculum they suddenly face here. One subject that always has the potential to reach them is science.

Science is a magical thing for my students, and helps them connect across language and ethnic barriers that may be present in other areas of their lives.

Many of these students are also economically disadvantaged, and have no chance to experience nature and the world around them outside of science class. I strive to get them out of the building and doing as many hands-on projects as possible. Their eyes always light up and they become engaged every time they do an experiment, no matter how simple or small.

Being able to find common ground over a love of chemistry, a favorite animal, or a fascination with tornadoes helps my often hesitant students work collaboratively and form bonds that carry over into other areas of their lives.

My Project

My students have worked harder than ever this year learning the concepts and foundational skills needed to succeed in secondary science. Now that we are (mostly) back in person, they are eager to engage in more hands-on, experimental activities. This is something they have been anxiously awaiting all year.

Science is all about doing: questioning, testing, and analyzing data that is collected via experiments.

These materials will allow my students to explore a variety of the topics we have covered, as well as prepare them for future study in middle school science.

Even the simplest hands-on activity brings joy to my students. Many of these materials relate to experiments my students have mentioned they want to preform. These materials will enhance their learning by reinforcing what we have learned, and keep their interest in science strong for many years!
