My Project
These STEM supplies will help get my first-grade students excited for science! We all know the best part of science is the testing process. Students learn more from actively engaging in hands-on experiments rather than listening to a lecture.
What does it mean to be a scientist?
I try to get them excited about new topics, but also about the process. You have to make observations, predictions, experiment, and then re-adjust based on your findings. In first grade, they have difficulty when their prediction is wrong. I always tell them that that is how some of the best discoveries have been made! I feel science is so helpful in teaching perseverance!
The materials selected, including the science kit and decodables, will explain science in a fun and engaging way. The experiments and paddles will ensure they can apply what they learned interactively. We would be so grateful for these materials!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
