My students are natural scientists! They are curious about the world and eager to test their ideas. But with minimal funding available for resources and supplies, conducting hands-on experiments in class can be very limited. My classroom teaching focuses on "Modeling Instruction", which is centered around students developing models of the physical world using multiple representations (math, word descriptions, diagrams and graphing). Engaging phenomena is the key to developing each model. Your donations will help to ensure my students have the opportunity to explore and model the world around them. Thanks in advance!
