My Project

Aloha to all the donors. Materials in this project will help me utilize more hands-on and exciting lessons, which can increase student participation and retention. I included materials such as a rock cycle chart, crayons, sticks for recording the results of projects, and a candle warmer for observing rocks and mineral properties. I also included flash drives for my video presentation and lessons. I also included fuse beads and peg boards for early finishers. My goal for this project is to foster creativity or critical thinking. It will also be used to promote collaboration or social-emotional learning. Improving academic performance: The project is designed to help students understand Earth Science subject concepts better.
