Color Our World

Help me give my students creative tools such as colored pencils, markers, and crayons to help model scientific phenomenon as we explore concepts related to Life Science.

My Project

Creative tools are basic materials that one should have in a classroom. I would like to ensure that resources are available to help my students model and make meaning of scientific phenomena related to our study of Life Science.

Whether exploring the form and function of a cell, or diving into the inheritance of traits, creative tools play a valuable role in our learning journey.

Being able to create mini-notebooks with the use of the hole punch, brass fasteners, and folders will help maintain organization throughout the year.

Grades 6-8
