As most of my kids are college-bound, they are eager to be engaged and learn important skills provided by science. My students want and need the most relevant tools to use as they learn science.
They want to use and learn with the most relevant and current tools because they want to be ready for the world that awaits.
They are eager to collaborate, investigate, and to share their knowledge of the concepts being taught. Building a base of equipment to enhance STEM learning is a priority for not only me but them as well.
We are in a big city and a big school, but they love to connect in the smaller setting of the classroom. When they learn to work in small groups and have the tools to actually do and try the principles being taught, the more excited they get about learning.
My Project
I have plexiglass dividers in my classroom and plan on using them as dry erase boards to show their thinking as dry erase boards. As students collect data from a lab, the markers will allow them to easily record and graph data.
The variety & color can help them in drawing models or concept maps that help them process & show their thinking of the concept we are learning.
The vertical surface will make it much easier to see what others are thinking over a paper on their desk. The erasers will make it easy to clean off when done and be ready for the next class.
