My Project

Science instruction is most effective when students can experiment and explore with hands-on tools. It fosters meaningful conversation, team building, and problem solving. Students will be given the opportunity to work through the scientific method to discover and understand a range of science phenomenons. The items in this project will give my fourth grade students and me the resources needed to increase their learning and love of science. After gaining hands-on experience with science in the classroom, they will participate in a school-wide STEM fair that is shared with the school, neighborhood, and district community.
