My Project

Science is one of those subjects that, in many respects, lends itself to being more fun for students. This is why so many kids love science.

I know my students would love to be able to track the weather on our playground and make predictions with magnets.

Although discussions, worksheets, videos, and review games are all important ways for students to learn, there is no substitute for hands-on activities when students are often most engaged in the lesson. By adding a weather station to our weather and climate unit, as well as STEM magnet kits to our force and motion unit, it will make our science units more meaningful.
