My Students

My 9th & 11th students are from very diverse backgrounds with over 50 different nationality and cultural groups. Each class period is unique but with the same desire to learn. I have in still in my homeroom the sense of family. In the beginning of the year, I tell the students that they are all cousins to one another and I am their auntie. Therefore, you must help your family.

This diversity and the family atmosphere that exist in my classroom is absolutely wonderful.

Each student influence other students to learn with their willingness to help, even across language and cultural barriers. In my physical science and chemistry class there is one common feature and it is math.

Math and science transcends through different languages. It’s absolutely wonderful to witness a Spanish speaking student helping a Creole speaking students with velocity problem. However, the need is all the same, some lack the basic necessity to achieve understanding and to have success. Many may not have something as simple as a scientific calculator, a ruler, or graph paper. Please help my students to be succeed at understanding a new concept through varies calculations while improving their ability to communicate.

My Project

For my 9th grade physical science classes, the study of physic requires a lot of calculation for the unit involving motion, force, work, energy and power. Students will work in small group to do a motion activity that will have them measure a runners distance traveled and time. From that activity, students will be able to determine a runners velocity, acceleration and graph their data. The mathematics operations for this unit requires the use of scientific calculators so students can find the square or square root of acceleration/velocity, for lab activity, classwork or for class assessments.

For my 11th grade chemistry classes, students will be converting metric units, atoms, moles and mass.

One hands-on activity I use to help students understand converting atoms, moles and mass it called "Counting Beans without Counting Beans". Students will need the exponent key to determine the number of beans in a bag, in which they could infer to atoms to mole to mass concept/calculations.
