My Project

As we embrace another school year, I am looking forward to teaching my amazing 7th & 8th-grade students fun, interactive, and hands-on Science lessons.

STEM connects the roots to reach the fruit!!!

Help me provide the resources I listed so my students can do STEM-related activities. I will be using the owl pellets to teach about fossils and evolution. The mousetrap will be used to build cars which will help them understand the concept of force, motion, and energy. I like laminating my visuals so I can recycle and reuse them over again. It saves a lot of paper.

The ROOT of the problem why students do not have an interest in learning Science is because they don't see its relevance to their lives and to the world.

STEM labs and projects solve this issue. Doing hands-on activities ignite curiosity in their brains to explore possible solutions to various problems that they see in their community.

The FRUIT I get in teaching Science is seeing my students discover, observe, analyze and explore possible solutions to problems that they see around them.

Please help me provide the materials that I need to create and develop lessons that are interactive, relevant, and fun. Let STEM connects the root to reach the fruit.
