Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I teach high school students ranging from the ages of 14-19. The students are goal-driven and love working on hands-on activities and completing any task that is put before them. My students are most of the time ready to learn and become better citizens. They enjoy learning everything science whilst in the comfort of Ms. Ickom's science classroom.

My Project

The materials listed will help me give my students a year full of fun, but learning-filled earth and space hands-on science experiments. As a science teacher, I feel as though most of the time in a science classroom is done through experience and completing the tasks.

The students will experiment with the growth of fish in different water qualities and temperatures.

They will also obtain a better understanding of one theory of how the universe came about, which we know in the science world as, "The Big Bang Theory."

The materials will only be used by the students while they are in the classroom. None of the materials will be taken home by the students.
