My students come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, with twenty-three percent receiving free or reduced lunch. No matter their situation in life, however, they come to school and put forth their best effort. My students love labs and hands-on learning activities, and work their best when given these learning opportunities.
My school believes that through hard work and trial-and-error, we can become successful individuals.
We encourage our students to adapt this growth mindset in approaching problems that are put before them. By providing them with engaging activities and a kinesthetic learning environment, students will gain exposure to an important facet of science education, which may generate further interest in science or engineering careers.
My Project
The unseen world of molecules makeup the entire world around us. My students need hands on materials to bring these molecules to life. As the students build and construct molecules they will come to understand the structure and function of these basic building blocks of life.
A generous donation to fund this project will bring the kinesthetic learners in my classroom to gain a connection to the invisible world of molecules.
As the students gain an understanding of the micro world around them they will perceive the impact that any change in a molecule will lead to massive alterations in the system that it is a part of. This will lead to discussions of their role, small though it may seem, in the world around them and the impact that they can have.
