My Project
My students want more than just worksheets and videos as engagement pieces for learning. They are future engineers, architects, scientists, and artists! Being in an urban school district, we don't always have resources for hands on learning.
Help me provide more hands on and interactive learning experiences for them!.
Not just reading or watching a video about how gemstones are found, but handing them a digging block to mine for their own gemstone! We have watched countless videos about animals in their habitats. How cool would it be to create your animal out of Legos and then design the habitat background to put your Lego animal in! Those learning experiences will deepen the understanding and comprehension of that topic in such a way, that students won't easily forget!
My goal is to increase student interest and engagement in the learning content. These items while fun and interactive, will build student curiosity, improving engagement and will also allow my class to partake in activities that will help the students build critical thinking skills, requiring them to think creatively and scientifically. It will provide opportunities for students to practice the scientific method steps: observing something- creating interest, questioning-how to do something, researching and gathering more information, developing their hypothesis or idea, then experimenting and analyzing their results to see if changes need to be made.
Thank you for helping me make learning COME ALIVE in my classroom!
