My Students

My students live in a small rural community. Most of their families have been here for generations and have farmed the land or work in the mills here. When social and economic needs outweigh the necessity of an education, what can we do to keep our kids in school until graduation? How can we challenge them and engage them to show up on a daily basis and invest in their educations?

My group of 6th grade students are very inquisitive and love hands on activities.

They learn Science through experiments and labs to explore their knowledge.They need rigor in order to grow as learners and they need guidance in order to grow as human beings. Most of all, they need the real world in their classroom. They need to see that what we do in school will shape what they do in the future.

My Project

In my science class, I love to conduct experiments and labs to better the education for students. Having this equipment is a great tool to help them discover and explore Science. At my school we have minimum tools or equipment to use for labs. I have to share with my other 6th grade colleague and we have to collaborate when to do labs in making sure we have enough materials for each class.

The materials that I have selected for my project are simple but will be utilize in a way to help each student!

The graduated cylinders, beakers, and test tubes will be used for measurement labs. Students will assess their skills in the scientific method of going through the process. Students enjoy this lab with measuring different liquids and also finding the volume of irregular objects. This makes students feel like they are a mad scientist creating a new discovery solution!

The Slinkys for my project are a great tool for my upcoming lab on energy and waves. Students are so amazed at what a slinky looks like and how it moves. In this wave lab, students are showing how to move the slinky and how to energy moves from one side to the other. This gives students a visual of the types of energy waves. Slinkys are not just toys but science tools for learning!

Now this is not all of the labs that we do in the classroom. We have more exciting experiments to explore. But these are essential at this time for my class.
