Mrs. Rivers's classroom raised $185

It's Electric!

My students need alligator leads, a lightning ball, a magnetic field display, and neon glow bulbs in order to better understand electricity.

My Students

Static Electricity, current electricity, and magnetism are some of the most exciting topics for my fifth graders to learn about in science. It is one place where most students have little prior experiences but thrive in learning and wanting to know more.

I currently teach over 200 fifth graders in a Title I school in Georgia.

They are the most inquisitive kids you will ever meet! They love to learn and always want to know more about whatever we are learning about! Electricity and magnetism are two topics that they will love to get their hands on.

My Project

By working with these supplies, my students will get the opportunity to develop their own thinking. They will get to do hands on inquiry lessons that will give them a solid foundation about these topics. They will be able to watch how electricity flows through currents by using the alligator leads and banana plugs with wires to light up neon light bulbs. Also, they will be able to actually watch the magnetic field change around a magnet using the display. These items will truly give my students a chance to see how these things work.

My class deserves the chance to experience science in its best form, through open guided inquiry.

I know with these supplies, they will increase their knowledge beyond paper and pencil know how. They will truly understand the ends and outs of all things electric and how they work in our world.
