There is no substitute for activities that require kids to use their hands as well as their minds. Students are more engaged and focused in science class when they're working on hands-on projects—even those who fidget during large-group lessons. I have found that the best way to engage kids' brains is by having them move their hands. I feel the science kits will help students understand the concepts they are learning about better because they will actually be able to experience these concepts rather than just reading about them. The science kits will also enable students to retain the information they are learning better because they will have the hands-on experience to look back on. My hope is to bring science alive for my students and get them interested in possibly continuing their love for science into their professional careers since so much of our world revolves around science.
