Ms. Collins STEM Wish

My Project

A new look at the world we share. STEM Activities support student engagement, and critical thinking skills, and allow them to actively collaborate. When my students are interested in what they're learning, they assimilate information better and are more excited about school.

I want my students to evolve around the world we live in via various STEM-scope activities during the 2024-2025 school year.

To motivate and stimulate their young minds I would love to have more hands-on activities.

Imagine this; I teach a mixed-age group of students ranging in ages 6 to 9. My students can independently further their understanding and discoveries by having support mechanics that allow them to wonder, investigate, and have fun learning.

We would be eager to develop our mathematical minds using the United Scientific Learning to Measure STEM Skills Kit - Elementary-Middle School - Kids. It includes multiple activities that my students can use to examine problems, break them down, and create solutions.
