I am currently starting a new position in an alternative school that focuses on Project-Based Learning in Science. The school has only been open for 2 years and needs many supplies. I would like to start by getting materials that will motivate students by using hands-on activities that will create an enjoyable experience while at the same time focusing on the subject I will be teaching in the classroom. This is why I chose games such as the Circuit, the Gravity maze games, and the Valence Plus game. Many of these games are hands on and will help to improve their problem solving skills. I am also going to create a club where the students learn how to solve different types of Rubik's cube puzzles. They give students a way to manipulate objects with their hands while at the same time improving their problem solving skills. I also chose posters because many of my students are visual learners and will be able to gain knowledge and inspiration from many of these posters. I will hang these around my classroom so they can be exposed to the many different Science concepts and inspirational statements. This will help me with the first step in providing an exciting environment to create a long time love of learning for my students!
