My Project
As I walked into a new classroom which had no supplies my heart sank. I have been begging borrowing and pleading with my colleges for help.
Getting some rocks, minerals, a tumbler and some supplies to help my students discover the world around us will be an eye opening experience for all of us.
Students will use these supplies during the minerals Earth Science unit to figure out the hardness of select minerals. This hands on experience will provide my students with multimodal learning which will help them engage and remember what they are learning.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
