Super Spectacular Scientific Discovery

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore science in a whole new hands-on experience.

Ms. Guertler Franklin Discovery Academy
Vineyard, UT Grades 3-5

My Students

My students are special because STEM is at the core of Franklin Discovery Academy charter. This paves the path for students to grow and learn through hands on, interactive, and educational play.

My students have been negatively impacted from the effects of covid.

Due to distance learning, students lacked the ability to learn through designing, building, and creating which is one of the core fundamentals of our school. Through this grant I will be able to provide the materials for students to explore science in a unique and hands-on way.

My Project

In the case that students would be doing distance learning again, I can use these materials to do demonstrations virtually and help them find resources around their home to do the activity or project along with me.

For example, when discussing fossils I can use the dino rocks to demonstrate how archaeologists dig up fossils.

I can also use the rockets to show how force plays a role in the launching of rockets. When discussing microscopes I can teach students about different materials scientist look at and why that is important to new scientific discoveries!
