As a middle school Science teacher, I have the wonderful opportunity to engage my students with a great deal of hands-on, 21st Century styled instruction. We are located in Eastern North Carolina and are a Title I School. After Hurricane Florence hit us last September, our school was flooded with upwards of four feet of water. This natural disaster did not knock us out, or even keep us down. Our staff and, most importantly, our students bounced back with vigor. Our sixth graders were moved to the elementary school and our seventh and eighth graders were relocated to the primary school for five months.
The effects of Hurricane Florence were far-reaching in our school and community at large.
Many of the supplies and basic necessities were damaged or destroyed. Our students have always demonstrated great interest and eagerness to learn about the world around them. Hands-on learning, especially in Science and Technology, is an effective, research-based approach to meaningful and integrated instruction and our students have shown growth and learning using these methods. Our students deserve every opportunity to enjoy the benefits of free, public education with all the resources that should be allotted. Thank you!
My Project
My experiences as a lifelong learner and educator have shown me 2 certain things: 1) A teacher can only verbally explain so much and 2) Learning can be interactive and fun. Long gone are the days of reading a textbook and memorizing facts, theories, laws, and definitions. Although the a valuable part of instruction and learning, what good is reading about something and not being able to witness the practical applications through the use of hands-on, engaged activities through meaningful and rigorous delivery? Answer: you are really only tapping into a portion of your class's potential.
The curriculum modules for Forces and Motion and Energy will assist us in making great strides in furthering an understanding of topics which are, at times, difficult to grasp without the aid of visuals and manipulatives.
The students would be blessed to have the opportunity to work with these products and align them with their core instruction.
