My students are smart, curious, creative, funny, hardworking, and friendly towards one another. My 18 students represent families all over the world, as well as a variety of learning levels. My school consists of over 1,000 students of diverse backgrounds. This can make teaching challenging because of the diverse learning abilities, but my students are always eager to learn. My students continually face obstacles head on and continually strive to do better. Their drive and passion for learning is amazing!
My Project
My students love to explore! Using hands-on learning experiences helps my students make meaningful learning connections. These items will be used to create science boxes that will give students the chance to see how the engineering and design process works. They will also problem solve to figure out various ways to solve, design, and construct a problem. Students will be able to experiment with these items to discover how to design and build a house from the story The Three Little Pigs. Is it sturdy? Will it fall? Do you need to think of a new idea?These are some of the many questions students will have to explore as they begin to fabricate their ideas. Students will also be given the opportunity to construct a sturdy chair for Goldilocks or build a tower to rescue Rapunzel. They will also create a basket to carry Little Red Riding Hoods treats. Students will also design a structure that will help the Gingerbread Man cross water and build a bridge for the goats to cross from the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Using storybooks students are familiar with will create an excitement for learning and inquiry using hands-on exploring techniques.
My students have a curiosity that can’t be motived by just listening to their teacher talk.
They need to explore and problem solve on their own.
Science has to be discovered and applied in order for students to truly grasp the concept. These materials will give them that opportunity. Seeing their faces light up when they explore new ideas is amazing. These science tools will enhance our daily learning and allow students to explore and discovery through problem solving together. I can’t wait to get the kids' curiosity going with these science discovery boxes!
