My Project

The specific items I am requesting will make a difference in their learning because it gives them the opportunity to access difficult concepts. I want my students to able to read about these concepts and then engage in hands on experiments to help them get excited about what we are learning in class, using the lava lamp kits and KiwiCo classroom pack. These types of experiments help spark curiosity, creativity, and conversation. A lot of my students are English language learners so it gives them the chance to learn important vocabulary and discuss what they are learning.

My goals for this project is for my students to continue being able to explore their love and passion for science.

My students are so special because they have a strong love of science and are the kindest humans I know. They want to work hard so they can help support others. One of my students stated when they grow up, he wants them all to be successful so they can combine their money and help others who do not have homes or jobs. They have a strong desire to help their community and to learn more about the world to help in anyway they can.
