This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I am the science resource teacher at an elementary school. My students have an extreme interest in science. Most of my students are kinesthetic learners, so they benefit from hands-on and engaging activities. They embrace the idea of being able to be a scientist and are allowed to use their brains to think and ask questions about the phenomenon around us.
I have named my room the science lab for a reason; when they enter, I want them to feel as if they are in a whole new world.
They are ecstatic when they come into the science lab and the first question they ask is, "Mr. McConner, what are we going to explore today?"
My Project
My students love to do hands-on engaging investigations. They grasp a stronger conceptual understanding of the unit and gain the background knowledge to connect it to real-world experiences. The electricity lab and the magnetism lab both provide students with a first-class experience into STEM, as well as, an introduction into the careers they tie into both units.
My scholars faces light up when there are science materials on their desk.
They become more intrigued about the phenomenon question and are willing to go the extra mile to answer the question.
