I currently work at a Title 1 school which services to low income students. My students come from a variety of backgrounds, along with vastly different learning styles (special education incorporation to honors level students). The commonality amongst each is their family type unit economic situation.
Most of my students do not see these types of materials, or would not have access to said materials within their educational life time. From the few materials that I do have, such as frog dissection materials, their eyes gleam with pure desire for education. The classroom is their safe place where they can experience a world of science that they wouldn't under normal means experience.
These requested materials including the grow a frog kit with tadpoles would lead them into dissections of the frogs (which their parents never got to experience themselves either). The plant life in the mini terrarium kit and biological life specimens in the island eco kit would help them during the botany and biology section to visualize what we talk about in class. These project resources would give students a hands on experience that would last a lifetime.
