My Students

My fourth grade students perform at their best when our tasks are hands-on and immersive. With our new NGSS science standards placing an emphasis on engineering, I want my students to be ready for a world that requires these higher level skills.

It is important to me that my students develop their problem solving skills and become deep thinkers.

My students would like to set up a makerspace where they can can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge.

My Project

These K'NEX kits will provide students with a hands-on way to dive deeply into math and science standards. They will be learning about wheels, axels, gears, pulleys, inclined planes, levers, and wedges while creating fully functioning machines. I hope to see an improvement in their spatial thinking and higher engagement as a result of using these tools. Students will collaborate with peers and build various machines as they learn about physics, forces, and the laws of motion.

These K'NEX kits will provide students with more STEM opportunities in the classroom.

Budding makers can create and customize their own vehicles and create 22 simple machines in our new makerspace.

These kits will not only be used during our science block of time, but during centers and indoor recess as well. Students will be able to extend their learning throughout the school day.

Thank you for considering our proposal.
