Help me give my students a flower model, microscope slide set, marine life and an insect specimen set, book, and life cycle visual tools for their learning that they can touch and feel.
My students are inquisitive and eager to learn. They show so much excitement and surprise when they learn a new concept in science. I love seeing the glint in their eyes when they see something they have read about or heard about come to life in their minds.
I do my best to give my students hands-on experiments and real exposure to things they may never see other than in our classroom.
Some of these children due to economic and life situations may never have the ability to experience science other than in their classrooms.
My Project
The supplies I have chosen for my classroom will help my students have real exposure to life science materials. They will make the concepts two and three dimensional not just a textbook explanation. With the life cycle of the green bean plant, life cycle of a frog, and cross-section flower model, students will be able to have a hands-on learning experience through touching and feeling. The marine life and insect life LifeBox pieces will offer my students an experience they won't forget! The supplies will help my students to fully understand all aspects of these creatures.
The microscope slides will allow the students to view organisms in real life not just a picture in a book.
Therefore my title for the project seeing in learning. So much of the learning that needs to happen in the science class should be tactile and visual. Please help me to give this experience to my students. The butterfly life cycle write and wipe pieces will offer engaging, reusable activities. I will be able to use these for years with each class learning by doing versus by reading.
