Middle School students still have inquisitiveness from elementary school, and I want to keep fostering that. As I add more options to inspire inquiry, my students are asking more questions and coming up with potential investigations and experiments on their own.
With your help, I can add to my classroom "inspiration stations" in order to keep my students asking and answering new questions.
We added an aquaponics garden to our classroom at the beginning of the school year, and I have students asking more advanced questions regarding plant propagation. I would like to add plant-grafting tools and gardening books to our collection to allow them to research and conduct hands-on experiments.
After starting an after-school robotics club, my students started becoming intrigued about what the club was building. We've been using the Lego robotics kits in my club. Having a set for my classroom would allow my students to create robots and play with the technology without undoing anything the robotics club has been working on.
