My Students

“When will I ever use this?" is something constantly heard in regards to science. My goal for this year is to fully engage and immerse my students in all that encompasses the Physical Sciences. I plan on doing this through the Engineering Design Process, collaborative groups/competitions, coding, and ROBOTS.

Billed a Title I School where 89 percent of students receive free or reduced price lunch, my students come from all walks of life, and NEVER let their SES determine their capabilities.

Add to that the diverse array of nationalities and languages spoken, my Physical Science classroom is filled with students of varying intellectual, socioeconomic, and cultural environments. In my class the commonality is Science. Sitting in groups, enhances the positive community, and gives students the opportunity to interact with people they might not have otherwise, while at the same time contributing to student's feelings of accountability in the subject. My students deserve the exposure to Robots, which feel like toys, but in actuality are opportunities for learning.

My students are very competitive with each other, and love the chance to show off. They love participating in classroom discussions, and letting everyone "know how much they

My Project

As a Pre-AICE Cambridge Science class the focus is more and more on technology. My students always want to challenge the real-life application of what we are learning, and the Sphero Mini Robot Balls in various colors will show the students how interactive and relevant science can be. The Fire and iPad tablets will provide the students with a device when needed, especially when I challenge each group to code and design an obstacle course for their Sphero Mini robot balls to breeze through.

"The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow when they are trying to solve a problem and design a solution for something; it is a methodical approach to problem solving." These materials will assist my students in systematically solving a problem, encountering an obstacle, and re-designing their solution, all while working collaboratively with people from varying walks of life.

I want to incorporate the Engineering Design Process more and more into the district curriculum, while focusing on how technology is more than just social media. Using the iPad, I want the students, to record the steps of the process along the way, and create and edit the video to incorporate the "Art" aspect of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math).

My students will also get the opportunity to build circuits both in series and parallel, and explore and demonstrate the components of electricity. The multimeters, batteries and wire cutters/strippers will help the students when we do electrical builds. I want the students to understand the power of electricity and increase their autonomy when it comes to breaking down the aspects of electricity. The Multimeter will allow the students to check to voltage, while the batteries act as an chemical energy source.
