My Students

Students at my school are inquisitive and want to learn. We are working on incorporating more STEAM into our daily curriculum.

My students want to learn hands-on.

They are tactile and interactive and want to figure things out.

My students are smart. They learn by doing, creating and investigating. They are busy third graders with wild imaginations and lots of learning to do. We need your help to get the necessary tools we need to make our learning complete now!

My Project

Teaching my students through movement and hands on is the best way. I also like creating projects where grades are not important, just learning. While investigating different websites for STEAM projects related to my third grade core, I came across a homeschooler who was using the Marbleworks TM system to teach her students about force and motion. I loved it!

We need Marble Works to learn about Force and Motion.

I want my students to have the same creative experience with force and motion that these homeschoolers were having. I just need some supplies to help them explore, what happens with force and motion of a marble on a flat surface, on a steep surface and on a really steep surface.
