The supplies requested are to update or possibly provide new items, as we may be missing some of the supplies listed. Since COVID-19, we have seen a difference in the hands-on activities that have been available for students, and the supplies requested will bump up their hands-on learning which has been neglected over the past several years since COVID.
The scales as well as the calculators will be used in many different classes to include general science, biology, chemistry, physics as well as some engineering classes.
They will be used to mass out the products and reactants of reactions, see how mass affects or is affected during several different experiments/demonstrations as well as mass out components and devices to see what affect if any the mass of the object has on various outcomes. Next come the calculators as they are needed in the above listed scenarios as well to provide students with a calculator that they can use while testing and conducting standardized testing as well. Some kids can't afford calculators and don't have access to a smart phone, not to mention smart phones aren't allowed to be used in many of the above scenarios as well. The other lower cost items requested are also a supplement to many of the above scenarios and most likely passed around for students to use in other classes. They also provide a straight edge for drawing and graphing out results.
It is a slow process, but giving them more chances for hands-on learning will definitely improve their engagement as well as their learning. The supplies listed, will not only impact this year's students, but students for years to come.
