Biology and Beyond: Stem Based Enrichment Activities

Help me give my students a variety of STEM based enrichment activities. The dissection plushies will allow students to explore anatomical structures and the robotic snake will allow students to explore the physics of wiring and motors.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

So many of my students are highly motivated and because of this I have quite a few students who complete their work ahead of their peers. I am always very proud of my students who work ahead as it shows me that they are on task and focused.

Providing my students with additional enrichment activities will allow them to explore more science principals while still rewarding them for their hard work.

In the past I have purchased a Kiwi Co Tinker Crate and student feedback was excellent. They not only were driven to complete their assignments but also learned in the process of "playing" with the Tinker Crate.
