My Project

Students will use these tools to observe climate change as they enter their final topic in eighth grade science. Two of my classes are ELL co-taught so I have included a mini projector, so I can have Spanish versions on one board, while my English speakers use the main projector in the room.

I have added a few climate books to assist them in learning, since we are a no-phone classroom.

Something fun I added was an Apple Pencil so when they use the class iPad to make awareness posters and powerpoints, they can incorporate technology and open their eyes to being creative with new apps. Lastly I included a fun science kit to get them doing hands on work, to gain their interest as we begin this last topic of how things are changing over time.
