My Project

I have taught science for many years! But I am in my second year here in Maquoketa, IA. Our next unit is all about electricity and circuits. We do not have any SNAP CIRCUITS for the students to learn from.

In my previous teaching job I taught with SNAP CIRCUITS and the learning is like no other!

I love it, the students are so curious and driven with these kits! The key is for all students to have the same kit so students are able to problem solve and educators and paras are able to get around and help students efficiently. Any support you could offer is greatly appreciated.
