Live Among The Stars!

My students need visual aids to grasp the understanding of the life cycle of a star.

Matawan, NJ Grades 9-12

I would like to bring the stars into my classroom. I teach earth science to students who have great difficulty understanding basic science concepts. The materials I am looking to obtain would be of great assistance in bringing something that is often difficult to visualize directly to my students.

I teach students of various social and economic backgrounds. Many of my students are classified with special learning needs. I attempt to bring a real life application to science learning and show my students that there is more to science than fancy formulas. Earth science is relatable and after taking this class many of my students begin to appreciate its real life applications.

Many of my students are visual learners. They can't read something in a book and interpret it. They need to be able to see it for themselves. The resources I have requested take a very complicated subject such as the life cycle of a star and help students to envision and interpret something that is not normally visible to the naked eye.

Please help ensure that my students will get the best possible chance to understand the complex concept of star formation. Help me bring the stars to them in as realistic a way as possible. Your help is appreciated immensely.
