This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are bright, creative, and love the opportunity to explore the world around them with hands-on activities. They love to be able to solve issues to real-world problems during lab activities.
My science students come to class each day with a positive attitude and a fresh perspective for creative thought and scientific exploration.
These students are an inspiration to my life's purpose as an educator.
Our school is a Title I school in the heart of the MS delta. Poverty is the main challenge to every student within our school and also presents major issues to educators because there is a serious lack of available resources. The families that I work with within the community are suffering from the effects of poverty.
My Project
By using a real-life 3D model of a life-size human skeleton, I could give the students the opportunity to visualize, investigate, explore, and understand their own bodies and how they work. This makes the subject come to life and gives the students a reference point to relate to concepts pertaining to their bodies.
When the students can see the life-size human skeleton model and put their hands on it, it makes concrete connections with the material that allows for true learning to take place.
When I teach them about various body systems and am able to use a model to show them what we're talking about, it makes it clear and engages them in the material.
Pedagogy tells us that the best practice for learning is to engage in hands-on activities that help students make real-world connections. This skeleton model and lung model will help my students achieve just that. The skeleton model and lung model will help me, as a teacher, to close gaps and help students truly learn the material and fall in love with science.
