LABra Kadabra: Bring Science To Life!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
The students in our grade level come from a variety of home situations, but one thing they all share is a love for school. They work hard to be the best they can be and are eager to learn. Science is, typically, a favorite subject. However, we are mostly learning about it from reading or watching videos. They are capable of so much more in terms of ways that we can learn and modalities that can be accessed. We would love to have hands-on experiences with indoor/outdoor science lab materials to support our learning in physical and earth sciences.
My Project
Right now, we mostly learn science through reading or videos. Science is really about interacting with the world and learning through those experiences. The State science standards now emphasize the behaviors of a scientist and require more project-based learning. Having hands-on learning experiences would help students better meet these standards and encourage engagement on in the curriculum.
I would like to purchase sensory tables to fill with earth elements (such as loam/clay/sand/water/3 types of rocks) that relate to our earth sciences units for some hands on learning outdoors. We would like to have electromagnet and electric circuit kits to help students understand physical science concepts around electricity for indoor hands-on learning.
