Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

I teach science to 5th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Many of the students I work with are passionate about learning the science content and being able to apply their knowledge. However, sometimes resources are limited and may hinder them from reaching their full potential and maximizing their full understanding.

Being able to utilize materials that provide a hands-on learning experience will greatly benefit the students and impact their leaning environment by providing real-life learning situations that will create connections for the rest of their lives.

My Project

The students in my class will use these microscopes to complete hands-on labs to help them truly understand what a microscopic view is. The microscopes will be utilized during topic discussions such as plant and animal cells and photosynthesis.

The microscopes will provide my students with an opportunity to learn a more in-depth knowledge of certain content.

They will gain a better technological perspective that virtual labs just can not provide them. By being able to view everyday items using slides they themselves prepared will be life-hanging. The students will become more well-rounded and greatly enjoy this experience of a lifetime.
