My students need 6 Science resources, including a landform demonstration kit to enable students to visualize the causes and forces that shape the Earth's surface.
Do you remember your first field trip at school? Exploring the outdoors with students for science is essential. It's important to provide both the scientific and traditional view points in exploring landscapes, earth materials, and the Earth's changing processes.
My students are second graders.
We attend a public school located on an Indian Reservation in the North West. Our school is located a short distance from a beautiful stream, riparian areas, hills and mountains and forests. We explore our community often by going on walking field trips to a fish hatchery, the river, and local landscapes. My class is over 70% Native American.
My Project
My hope is to increase student learning by providing hands-on resources and materials to explore the Earth's landscapes and processes. I am currently requesting a landform kit to explore volcanoes, folds, and faults. The clay and sand will be used to simulate the Earth and its processes, from building landforms, to providing materials for a stream table, and looking at the many layers of the Earth's crust.
It is my hope that the use of these project resources and materials will provide an opportunity for my students to realize that there are multiple worldviews and perspectives that are essential to their (student) learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
