Creating More STEM Opportunities and FUN!

My Project

Students will be able to have fun while learning about circuits with the 2 Snap Circuits kits. They can get excited with gravity and magnetism with the Kinetic Perpetual Motion Asteroid Toy and the Gravity Maze Marble Run! The batteries, the mini lights, and the copper tape will be used for creating fun STEM crafts where students get to make their project light up! The Science coloring books will be a good way to introduce new topics and/or help with review utilizing a different medium. The Water Cycle Magnets and Animal Cell Magnets allow for a unique way of learning complex concepts. Station rotations will be more exciting with the Plate Tectonics game review plate movements and resulting landforms.

The remaining items are basic needs and are things that my classroom just needs to make it more inviting and keeping it clean: extra earbuds for students that don't have them, table skirts for my counters so that my supplies under the counters can remain unseen and a broom and dustpan to maintain a clean environment!
