Mrs. Sheets from West Peoria IL is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
My students need materials such as LEGOS, Magformers, straws and foam balls to fill STEAM bins so they can build, create, draw and write.

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful hands on learning experiences in our science classroom.
STEAM bins are a creative and developmentally appropriate form of engineering for middle school students.
Middle School is the perfect time to introduce the engineering design process through simple STEAM activities because it builds on student’s natural curiosities to create. I want to provide an invitation for children to explore and engineer through play.
STEM bins are a wonderful way to encourage learning opportunities that include science, technology, engineering, art and math. All students should have a chance to try STEM challenges and Science Experiments.

STEM Bins are plastic boxes filled with an engineering manipulative such as LEGO bricks, magnetic blocks, Styrofoam balls, straws and wooden blocks. The boxes also contain sets of task cards that picture a variety of basic real world structures to inspire students to build.
The materials I requested are needed to fill the bins so students can build, stack, write and draw. Students will use the materials to create a structure such as a bridge, maze or animal habitat. Math will be incorporated creating various shapes such as cones, triangular prisms and cubes.
Students will be given the opportunity to make improvements to their structures, talk about problem solving, draw blueprints or combine building materials.
