5th Grade Hands-on Science

Help me give my students NGSS science kits for all science content areas.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lao's classroom raised $705

This project is fully funded

My Project

The requested science kits that I have selected will encourage and help my students conduct investigations by determining the process related to real world situations.The Science Kits will promote collaboration and open dialogue regarding the investigation cards. Currently, my students lack the exposure to collaborative science tasks. My lesson are created from Mystery Science and Discovery Education. These science kits will provide my students with an opportunity to work through task cards and activities. Students will have the opportunity to work independently in collaborative groups. I have observed positive interactions and collaborative discussions when students work together. I found hands-on activities to be enriching and positive outcomes for my students in preparing them for upper grades.
