I teach second grade in one of the most wonderful school districts in Oklahoma. My students are eager to learn and always ready to meet the challenge of learning. Although many of the students come from difficult home situations, they come to school with smiles on their faces and are eager to learn each day.
My students are special because they are compassionate students, curious to learn, and show kindness to others each day.
I am truly blessed to be their second grade teacher!
My Project
These supplies will be used for STEAM activities. One such activity will be a Valentines day viscosity (thickness of a liquid) experiment. My students will use the jars to check out different fluids that are used around the house and compare them to each other. The acrylic hearts will be placed in each liquid so my students will really get a good look at what viscosity is all about. To put the A in STEM my students will research the different liquids first and draw predictions on whether or not the hearts will sink or float in each liquid.
Another STEAM activity my students will do is to power a boat using soap.
They will get into groups of four and design a boat that is made from styrofoam and toothpicks. Then they will test their designs using the JR Watkins soap as the motor.
The bags, popsicle holders, and vinyl will be used as storage for STEAM materials and labeling them.
