This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our school is located in the heart of South Dallas. Our Marvelous Mustangs are always motivated to succeed! My students are precocious fifth graders who are eager to use to engage and enhance their learning. They are energetic and eager to learn as much as they can! I enjoy thinking of new ways to help them gain critical thinking skills as well as making my classroom as efficient as possible while making sure they have every opportunity to shine as learners!
My Project
As budding scientists, my students love to conduct science lab experiments. I'm constantly looking for ways to enhance lab experiences to maximize student learning and student engagement all while staying budget friendly. As of now I have enough materials to make 6 circuits, which means 5-6 students must share diminishing the impact of this experiment for each student.
Simple materials can add up quickly when you buy materials for an entire class.
Funding for this project means that each of my students will be able to build simple circuits and get the hands on experience they need to master this concept. It's my goal that each student will be able to create their own circuit.
