Investigation! Calculate! Communicate! Making Sense of Science

Help me give my students interactive and engaging classroom learning experiences with science investigations and calculations. The use of calculators and whiteboards are essential when problem solving and investigating phenomenon.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blinks's classroom raised $602

This project is fully funded

My Project

Physical Science is a fun course that allows students to explore and investigate cool scientific phenomenon. We believe in giving all students common, anchoring experiences to provide a baseline for the learning and build background knowledge.

Students have a fuller experience and are able to engage and interact with the science content with the right resources in place.

I am especially excited for the learning this school year. The teacher resources help with strategies to uncover student ideas and making thinking visible. The whiteboards and makers allow students to activity participate and show their learning in real time. The calculators assist students in generating solutions to problems presented in investigations.
