My students need 25 notebooks to complete science fair projects. My students also need 16 Max Axiom books for an engaging way to access science material through reading.

My Students
Discussion, inquiry, and experiments are the goals of the modern classroom. I try to promote scientific thought as much as I do physics. I strive to change the way students think by placing them on the edge of science. I work with physics education researchers to try new ideas and keep fresh.
Our school houses a very diverse population, being one of the few refugee communities in Georgia.
We have over 50 countries and over 40 languages in our school. Our students need to work hard to learn not only our material, but our language. What they lack in foundation, they make up in spirit. I choose to think that no matter where they come from, they will forever be moving. I want to help them move in the right direction.
My Project
There are two purposes for this project related to science literacy.
The first deals with using resources properly when designing and carrying out a science experiment. Our school has been the host for our school science fair for many years. This is an exciting opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity and ingenuity. Despite this chance, we haven't had science fair projects at our school since I joined 3 years ago.
I am the new science fair liaison for our school. I hope to foster an environment to promote good research in our next generation of scientists. The composition books will be used as experimental journals for the new and exciting projects the young scientists create.
2) Secondly, the many books I have ordered are to promote literacy in the classroom. Many bored students neglect their studies when they are unable to understand the language of the class. Using graphic novels to approach educational standards bridges a gap for many ELL students.
Given the chance to show their knowledge and desire to learn, most students accept and rise to the challenge.
Just like a lamp unplugged in a closet, they have no power on their own. With these two projects, I want them to find their own power. The chance to win a science fair or connect to the subject might be all they need.
