Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
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 Project
This project will be an end of the year opportunity for all 600 of my students. They will use the shrinking paper, Sharpies, and beads to create one of a kind pieces of jewelry. They will learn about why the paper shrinks when exposed to heat and get to be creative, when choosing their design.
The main focus of S.T.E.M. is to get the students tinkering, inspire their imaginations, and provide an outlet for their creativity through math, science, technology, and art. They will love this activity and seeing the paper shrink in real time. The opportunity to complete another hands on activity will bring them joy.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
