My Project

These items in this project are eye opening items that will help students with STEM. As a teacher who also teaches science, I have the opportunity to do experiments with my students. The one thing I have noticed is that they absolutely love hands on experiences but we don't have them accessible all the time and sometimes different teachers may have the items with them. A few of the needed items are a tablet (they can look up and watch videos when creating an experiment to get examples). The kits are hands-on activities to engage the students in fun and learning. Having this project helps me to have materials in my classroom for students to learn and have items that are hands on for them to further their knowledge on different science concepts.
