My Students
My students are a diverse group of individuals whose learning abilities vary. Many students benefit from visual and kinesthetic learning methods during science labs and lessons. The students are all very engaged during science and are able to relate any lesson to real-world examples during their daily lives. I have six lab groups for each 7th grade class, each representing a historic scientist that made a revolutionary invention or discovery.
My students are determined to understand why and how everything in the world works the way it does.
My Project
Students are currently learning about how elements ( example: Hydrogen - H ) can fuse/bond with other molecules such as oxygen (O) to make H2O (water). These molecular modeling kits will provide a fun, kinesthetic learning experience to create physical representations of molecular bonds. Along with the modeling kits, the large periodic table poster and matter posters will provide ongoing visual aids throughout the current chemistry unit. Using the kits and visual aids for guided practice will provide the students with a deeper understanding of atoms, elements, mixtures, and compounds!
My students are intrigued by atoms, "the building blocks of everything," and want to know how molecular bonding occurs!
More than half of students from low‑income households
