Trying to Make Social Studies & Science Engaging

Help me give my students a chance to learn something new and facts about their state.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cobbs's classroom raised $333

My Project

I teach high school science and social studies in self-contained classes. My students are growing tired of the same types of lessons, and I’m seeking fresh, engaging seating and content that will capture their interest and encourage active participation. Social studies, in particular, is a challenge as many students struggle to stay focused during those lessons. On the other hand, they enjoy science, especially hands-on activities that allow them to explore and experiment.

My goal is to find up-to-date lessons, worksheets, and activities that are not only thought-provoking but also fun.

I strive to create an engaging classroom environment that minimizes unwanted behavior and keeps students excited about learning.
