Help me give my students Grow Labs to conduct plant investigations in Biology class.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Julien's classroom raised $1,063
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
In a typical day in my classroom, 30 students work on basic Biology and Chemistry labs. They are engaged and enthused about learning biological and chemical principles. They work collaboratively and actively participate in class. At the end of the year, I want them to gain proficiency in Biology and Chemistry and see its relevancy.
They speak English, French, Spanish, Wolof, and Igbo among other languages.
They are typical teenage students who are going through typical teenage challenges: peer acceptance, relationships, etc. They also have some challenges that are germane to their environment. There are gang related issues, poverty, and unemployment. This project is particularly aimed at providing them with opportunities to examine macroscopic chemical phenomena.
My Project
The students will use GrowLabs to conduct plant investigations. This project will allow students to apply the principles of the Scientific Method in a tangible and meaningful manner. The students will identify variables that they want to manipulate to see what effects it has on plant growth. The limit to this investigation will be the imagination of the students. They can test variables ranging from light intensity, salinity, pH, temperature, water volume, soil etc. and determine how it impacts plant growth. The students will learn that in a controlled experiment, one variable is changed otherwise they won't be able to determine which one has the effect.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
