STEAM-ing Through Grade 4

Help me give my students STEAM opportunities inside and outside of the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shinshiro's classroom raised $520

My Project

Currently my students have weekly STEAM opportunities through our Mystery Science curriculum. I see the beam with excitement during each and every science lesson.

I'd like to provide my students with more opportunities to work both in groups and independently while "STEAM-ing".

I think that my students will absolutely love this gravity maze game that replicates and extends our learning of height energy. They can also engineer structures with magnet building toys and the project idea book that goes with it. I am also asking for a few supplies to continue our current class projects such as: card stock paper, double stick tape, and posters for their adaptation art project. I will also be able to purchase more project ideas, resources, and work through Teachers Pay Teachers.
