My Project
At first glance, these science kits are about students learning the content. In the Investigating Legislation kit, students perform experiments, simulate the effects of smog on plants, and demonstrate the need for environmental regulation.
In the Simulating Succession kit, students set up and observe an ecosystem advancing through the stages of ecological succession, track changes and predict the outcome, and modify their simulation to represent a disturbance and show it affects the successional sequence.
In the Determining Agricultural Resources kit, students investigate the agricultural sustainability of a local area, experiment with alternative methods for growing vegetables, analyze soil, develop plans to meet the farming needs of a community, and research local agricultural products and practices. The other supplies are needed to use these kits successfully.
These kits have positive effects on my students' mental health. Students gain a sense of accomplishment and purpose as they consider environmental issues that impact them. Problem-solving real-world issues can give students a sense of empowerment. Others will be fulfilled as they see the real-world applications of what they are learning. Students will collaborate with others, building essential social skills and creating important connections. Engaging in active, hands-on learning activities can reduce academic anxiety and improve resilience. Students who see the results of their work and understand their role in broader environmental contexts may feel more confident in their abilities to tackle challenges. Overall, these activities enhance scientific knowledge and promote a sense of responsibility, community connection, and personal achievement.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
