My Students

My sixth grade students are inquisitive, energetic and avid scientists that are excited about hands-on learning in our science classroom.

Opportunities like these get kids excited about careers in science and the importance of scientific thinking through inquiry and exploration.

My Project

Engaging science phenomena can grab a student by the brain and yell, "Look at me! I'm awesome! Figure out how I work!" Science education is all about getting kids to pay attention to the world around them, to look closely at a particular object, situation or interaction.

The weather station, bubble tube and aquatic ecosphere will allow students to search for the how and why of science and really delve into what causes a particular effect.

Kids will be able to work successfully, both independently and cooperatively, to explore our fantastic science curriculum.
