My Project

My students are in public school pre-k and are full of energy and curiosity. Many of my students are having their first experience with school and I want to make that experience the most engaging that I possibly can. They are in need of materials that will help them build academic skills, ignite a love of learning, and stimulate the inquiry process.

Starting to build science concepts from an early age will give students an advantage not only in the classroom but also in life.

The Look and Discover Science Set and the Bugnoculars will help students to more closely observe various characteristics of items in their world. The Can Do Science sets will help students to experiment with various aspects of science and the Storytime STEM books will help to integrate literature with science. The brick set, marble run, and survive the quake set will allow students to see the different ways materials work together.

These materials will help students interact and build communication skills as well as work on the following standards.

N.PK1.a Observe their world

N.PK.3 Use tools safely to observe and explore different

objects/environments.

P.PK.3 Explore what happens to objects in relation to other

forces (e.g., magnets, gravity, and water).
