My Project

My students are all unique individuals and learn best in a unique way. Just like many adults, my students learn best through hands-on experiences. These materials will allow me to give that opportunity to my students to help further their knowledge of the scientific world around them. Project-based learning will be the center of my science class. Science should be inclusive and fun!

Every student should be able to question the possibilities of the world around them and explore those possibilities.

These materials will allow my students to think outside the box. They will also help students emerge themselves into learning. Encouraging future scientists to love their learning and do amazing things in life.

Mrs. Hastings
Grades 6-8
