My Students

I teach 6th and 7th grade science at a large Illinois elementary school. My students are from low-income families and all are eligible for free lunch. As a teacher and lover of science, I want to instill my love for discovery and inquiry in my students.

Unfortunately, our science textbooks are outdated and not very motivating to my students.

In addition, because of drastic reductions in my school's budget, we are unable to purchase science resources. In addition to budget cuts, we were told by the school board to expect classes of 35 or more students, further cutting into our meager resources. Most of my students do not have computers with Internet access at home, or parents to take them to the library. I would love to be able to have an interactive learning aid that would allow me to teach my students about Earth Science.

My Project

I will be very grateful if you are able to fund my grant for (1) Earth Science Whiteboard Lesson for Rocks (1) Earth Science Whiteboard Lesson for Minerals, as well as a replacement pen and wand. With these resources my students will be able to view topographic maps, perform simulations and draw conclusions. There is a custom tool bar that will allow my students to draw, write and add arrows and text to the screen. There are virtual lab experiments for rock and mineral identification, typographical maps, examples of weathering and erosion as well as classifying rocks, the rock cycle and uses for minerals. With the use of whiteboard lessons, I will be able to take my students out of their books and into engaging interactive, visual component. My students will be able to take the role of a geologist. Small groups will be able to teach lessons to their classmates. This will be an experience that my students and I currently only dream about.

This project is also important because minorities and women are under represented in the field of science.

By introducing my students to fascinating fields of science, their interest in science will grow and perhaps one day they will become scientists themselves. My students and I will be greatly appreciative if you are able to fund our project!
