In Fourth Grade, We Will Be Studying Waves and Information

Help me give my students learn and explore all about waves and information by using hands-on materials.

Mrs. Jacobs Graham Elementary School
Westland, MI Grades 3-5

My Project

This project will provide hands-on materials and consumables that make rigorous, standards-aligned STEM instruction possible for all forty-seven fourth-grade students in our full-inclusion school. These supplies are essential for launching an engaging energy-and-waves curriculum and ensuring equitable access to learning experiences.

Hands-on projects help students remember what they are learning and spark an excitement for STEM that sticks with them for life.

In short, these supplies, the pendulum wave demonstrator, Newton's Cradle, and the other requested items, will transform our classroom into an inclusive, hands-on science lab where every one of our fourth graders can investigate energy and waves, practice engineering and science habits, and demonstrate measurable growth.

Thank you for helping us launch Wave Exploration: Fourth Grade Energy Labs. Your support is always appreciated!
