My Project

As my second year as an educator began to approach, I found myself reflecting on how to provide my students with a more complete and inspiring science education. One of the most prominent benefits of a science education stems from its ability to be executed creatively. Due to lack of resources, although, my students were able to participate in a very limited amount of engaging activities.

Strong science instruction can inspire and motivate students to think beyond what they believe is possible.

These materials (safety glasses, human anatomy models, microscope slides, etc.) will create opportunities for my students to solve practical problems, make informed decisions, and to build a passion for learning.
