The materials and supplies that I am requesting will help students complete hands-on labs that are directly related to the standards from the Next Generation Science Standards. Science can be difficult for students, especially biology. It is crucial that students create a real life connection with the concepts that the students need to learn. Students will work cooperatively in groups while completing real science labs. Students will benefit form hands-on experience rather than only reading about the concepts because such topics in science as photosynthesis and bacteria are so microscopic. It is difficult for students to grasp these abstract and microscopic ideas. With the science kits that I requested, students will be able to see evolution in real time using the Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance 8-Station Kit. Students will also experiment with photosynthesis using a bioKits: Algae Bead Photosynthesis. I also requested 2 digital resources. Both resources correlate with NGSS. This can be used several times through out the year and years to come.
