Plate Tectonics Rocks the Earth!

My students need visual materials that help them to understand plate tectonics better.

My Students

Do you remember what it was like to see a model of a volcano exploding? My students need to understand why this happens, and it has everything to do with plate tectonics. Science is an exciting way to learn about the world.

My students are 6th graders in a Maine rural elementary school.

Our school has experienced the recession, and funds are limited. I want my students to be able to learn even when resources are limited. Even though they come from low-income backgrounds, they deserve to have the best education that can be offered to them. Having visuals can help them to understand scientific concepts better.

My Project

The resources that I am requesting will help my learners visualize the movement of Earth's plates (plate tectonics). Some of my learners learn best with visuals. These resources will be used for many students in the future. Learning science can be difficult concepts for some students, but we need to have students who understand science to be our future scientists. We must do everything we can to prepare our students for the future.

Your donation will make a difference in enticing students to learn more about our world.

Teaching from a textbook will not help most students to learn. Extra resources are needed to reach all learners. Science is an exciting subject, and we need more scientists in our future!
