My Project

My students are eager to learn and get some hands-on science experience. They are very interested in learning science concepts and they learn best when they can have materials like models and slides we are discussing right in front of them to help model these concepts. Reading and online simulations are great for their understanding but the kinesthetic piece would help complete their learning experience. As a fun activity to close out our chemistry unit, students will get to make slime while learning the science behind how it is made and how the different materials come together.
