Mrs. Olsen from Henderson NC is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
My students need a stream table, science games and a world map - hands on scientific learning tools - to help science come alive in our classroom!

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality." Albert Einstein
This is the mantra by which my students seem to live by.
I teach in a college prep school that serves those who are traditionally under-served and marginalized in education. Over 90 percent qualify for the free - and reduced-meal program. As Albert Einstein stated, the most important thing is not to stop questioning. I want to continue to cultivate this curiosity in the classroom.
From physics to geology, my studentsâ minds are always working! Every day in my fifth grade science classroom, questions arise and curiosity peaks. My students are hungry for science knowledge. In an effort to expand their knowledge of how the world works, we need hand on resources! When science comes alive, students deeply engage to learn more about the world around them. By using a stream table students will see first hand how erosion occurs and how the world around them is formed. With a detailed world map they better be able to visualize geographically the climate regions we learn about in class. With interactive games and kits students will experience science being fun and engaging.
In a time when scientists are needed more than ever, these activities will inspire the scientists within each of my students.
This will help to build the scientific leaders of our future!
