My students will be the future scientists, engineers and mathematicians in charge of solving the complex problems of our world.
My sixth grade students are inquisitive and competent.
Some have a rich knowledge of science and math, but many students are experiencing, for the first time, the dynamic learning that comes from integrating engineering and technology into math and science concepts. One of our many goals, this year, is to increase girls' interest in science, technology, engineering and math classes. This project will serve 290 students, including over 160 girls.
My Project
The 3 iPad minis allow students to interact with on line simulations. The simulations engage students in real world scenarios. These simulations will give my students the tools necessary to answer inquiry questions through manipulation of variables and analysis of the effects. The simulations will also allow the teacher to differentiate the science content more easily. Students will have an increased opportunity to extend their learning through more complex simulations.
Your gift to my classroom will provide my students with daily opportunities to engage in science, technology, engineering and math activities through inquiry.
With access to technology students will experience real time manipulation of variables, use of models, measurement instruments, and science curriculum brought to life.
