All of the materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students can be used for both outdoors and indoors projects in my science classes. This coming school year, I have the opportunity to take my students (CAS Explorers) outside and connect them to the natural world. Students will use the dry-erase clipboards, magnifying glasses, safety goggles, and safety compasses while learning about the natural world through real-world, hands-on citizen science projects in my science classes in order to inspire a love for nature and stewardship of our amazing planet. The dry-erase clipboards will work both as portable writing surfaces to make student thinking visible and a way to keep all of their observation, data collection, and science journal papers organized. The magnifier glasses will allow them to slow down, better observe species, inspire curiosity to learn how everything is connected. The safety glasses will be used for both outdoor and indoor experiments. The safety compasses will be used along with our local community maps as they collect data and analyze patterns in order to generate possible solutions to problems that they will discover as we explore our local outdoor community spaces (e.g. amount of debris is found around our school during community clean-ups, types and number of species discovered while conducting mini-Bioblitzes, where are the water sources in our neighborhood, etc.) I want my students to explore our world using materials & supplies that real scientists and engineers through real-world projects as opposed to just reading about it or watching videos about it. Hand-on learning covers all learning modalities and neutralizes the learning curve across all of my diverse learners.
