My Students
What makes my students so special are their inquisitive minds! They love to explore almost every topic in Life Science! My students are so excited when they participate in Science Lab activities. My students come from very diverse backgrounds.
Every scholar has big plans of exceeding learning requirements while simultaneously having fun each day of class!
My students love hands-on investigations and love to touch and closely look at actual live specimens.
We are a Title 1 school and several of my students come from a low socio-economic background. They come to school ready for new experiences. This school is an amazing place to learn. My objective is to get students excited to learn! My students love to read about surprising topics and are fascinated by photos that pique their interest and draw them into articles on life science, earth science, physical science. My students are voracious readers and love to do research on topics that really interests them.
My Project
Research projects put students in the frame of mind for this inquiry based science class. Research increases literacy achievement as well as scientific understanding. I have compiled a list of diverse science books that will assist my students with their understanding of the topics we cover throughout the school year, such as cell biology, human body systems, ecology, the interaction of life, genetics and terrestrial biomes.
Literacy is essential for science learning.
Inquiry-based science requires students use the tools of science to seek answers, which includes professional documents. Using these books, students will find answers to their questions about real world phenomena. By using their literacy skills while learning science content, the students will expand their scientific reasoning. They will be able to clarify their ideas, make claims, present arguments, and record and present findings. Using scientific literature will greatly enhance their experience in the science classroom!
