My Project

Along with the changing of teaching generations, also comes the changing of state standards. Ours were updated this school year and we are in need of S.T.E.M. kits to help us absorb as much knowledge as we can in our curriculum units.

STEM kits help students learn about the world around them and use real-world applications, especially igniting the curiosity and creativity among students.

STEM kits help students develop skills that are important for life, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Composition notebooks are crucial for science class. This is where we keep track of everything! Everything from notes to observations to conclusions get glued in so it's all in one place and easily accessible. By recording our learning and progress, students retain more information from thinking it, writing it, and seeing it. Students also use these to learn effective note-taking skills,
