STEM-ing Through Testing

Help me give my students STEM activities to break up the routine of test prep.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sours's classroom raised $167

My Project

This project aims to provide my students with hands-on STEM learning while also focusing on test preparation. Students will be able to understand processes such as chemical/physical changes, and force and motion.

Students who experience firsthand science are more likely to remember it.

We are gearing up for the state test. The routine can get boring, and students are not as likely to stay focused. With these materials (building blocks, bouncing balls, and rock collection), students will be able to see the concepts they often struggle with come to life. I want them to be excited to learn every day.
