My Project

In my classroom, I have a diverse group of learners with varying backgrounds, interests, and abilities. They are a vibrant and curious bunch who are eager to learn and engage in new experiences.

I believe that through science education, students can not only learn about the world around them, but also develop essential skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

I am looking to purchase a Mystery Science online subscription for 4th grade and 5th grade science. This school year I have 175 students. With Mystery Science, I will be able to engage students with open-and-go lessons with step-by-step, hands-on activities that explore scientific phenomena using common classroom items.

Teaching science has always been my passion because it allows me to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for discovery in students. We will use these materials to aide us in the process of becoming life-long scientists. I want my students to play and tinker to learn instead of using worksheets. As the teacher, I have done extensive research and reading on providing hands-on activities in science classrooms. I need your help. Thanks!
