My Project

As we move on from the impacts of Covid-19, it is important to help students continue to build and develop the SEL skills that that require them to work together and communicate in a positive manner to successfully accomplish the given task. Hands-on science materials are a great way to get students to work together and have fun while they are learning these skills.

The circuit boards will give the students hands-on experience with circuits during our unit on circuits.

The launchers for the Dash robots will give the students a fun tool that will help them develop coding skills as they program their Dash robots to successfully use their launchers. The digital microscopes are a great way for students to view the complexity and beauty of our world. These microscopes allow the students to take a picture of the object that they are viewing. They can then share the picture via Google Classroom. The Apitor Robot X kits will allow students to extend their programming and building skills that they learned during our unit with the Dash robots.

Thank you!

Mr. Newell Waiakea Elementary School Grades 3-5
