My Students

"Can a Genetic Trait always show in every generation?" "Why do I have Blue eyes and my parents have Brown and Green Eyes?" The thirsty minds of science students are always exploring and asking thought provoking questions.

Working in an urban school district limits the supplies that are provided for our school.

However, my 160 students are intelligent individuals who are thirsty for knowledge. We are in need of basic supplies in addition to supplies to help supplement their learning material. The students are always enthusiastic in learning new material and are interested in creating projects to reveal their knowledge of science.

My Project

My students are in need of Art Supplies such as Markers, Crayons, Gluesticks, and PosterBoards in order to complete their Critter Family Portrait Project. The Critter Family Portrait Project will permit students to portray their understanding of Genetics. Students will be able to complete charts depicting how traits are passed down from one generation to the next (Genotype) and the how the traits are revealed through the organism (Phenotype). This hands on activity will reinforce the study of Genetics, the study of passing genes from one generation to the next.

With the Art Supplies, such as Markers, Crayons, Gluesticks, and PosterBoards, students will be able to portray their knowledge of the learning material.

Students will be involved with hands on activities and portray visuals of the academics they are understanding. Students will further reveal their understanding and comprehension of Science.
