Mrs. Fjeldheim from Groton SD is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Can You Make a Magnet?

Help me give my students a better understanding of insulators, conductors, and magnetism. They love hands on projects that they can explore with. The modeling clay and magnet kits will be wonderful tools.

My Project

I love giving my students hands on experiences to explore in science. They become inventors, problem solvers, teachers, and teammates. When they have an exploratory project in their hands, they don’t consider it as homework. They take a different perspective and look at it as being fun. They do not realize they are learning from themselves and from their friends, as well as taking on a “teacher” role with their team. STEM projects give them the opportunity to be really involved with the learning process. My students look forward to completing science projects with their classmates.
