It's Our World: Take Action

My students need live critters including newts, tree frogs, and hermit crabs to research, care, and study live animals in habitats for study throughout the school year.

Mrs. Cantor Broadmoor STEM Academy

Shreveport, LA Grades 6-8

My Students

Students learn by seeing, touching, and doing. My students are in a low socio-economic level and have rarely if ever, had experience with live animals and habitats. Students need to learn the importance of all life and conservation of ecosystems. Students will have hands on experiences.

My students are in a low socio-economic level.

They are in a 90% minority status. Most live in project housing and never have an opportunity to study live animals in any setting. They are attending a neighborhood school in an urban setting. I will be incorporating over 130 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students in this project.

My Project

Students learn by doing, not by rote memorization. Students can become masters of their own learning and this project will instill life long lessons. Students will understand the concepts of conservation and preserving all life and how it interacts with themselves and other life around them. Students will study habitats and animals and learn about predator-prey relationships, food chains, habitats, limiting factors, and over 40 different science standards for standardized testing. Students will learn how to grow, care for, feed, study, and research animals in habitats. Students will learn content objectives and will cross the curriculum with math and language arts skills as well. Students will work cooperatively in groups and will develop peer tutoring relationships. Students will study animals throughout the year and develop and test hypothesis to build ideal environments. Students will use this knowledge in real world situations and develop a greater understanding of life.

My students will develop a greater consciousness for living creatures in a world that seems to take the environment for granted.

My students will become interested in learning and thus will increase standardized test scores and develop a love for learning. Students will become masters of their own learning by participating directly in the learning process. Students will develop a love for science and directly impact the lives of animals in controlled habitats.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
