Looking into the World of Science

My students need science equipment to help them understand a world too small to see with the naked eye. We need microscopes and more.

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 Students

My students are in the gifted and talented program. I have students 2nd-5th grade at two different schools. Most of my students come from disadvantaged neighborhoods and low income families. My classes have a high percentage of minority groups. I loop with my students and have them every year they are in our gifted elementary program. I have some students for up to four years.

Many of my students have ADHD and are on the Autistic Spectrum.

Gifted students often have over excitability such as psycho-motor, which gives them high levels of energy and impulsive behavior.

My Project

My students have very little hands on learning experiences. As we study science it is hard for them to visualize what we are discussing with out actually seeing it. The hands on experience that microscopes would give them is desperately needed.

Many of my students are visual and hands on learners.

They really need the correct equipment to help bring science to life. We have been studying our local ecosystem and discussing the tiny things that live in our water shed. The microscopes would allow them to be self-directed learners with opportunities to see another world hidden from us because of its small size.
