My students are growing in their interest and ability to innovate. Although they may be at different stages of innovative thought, my students share at least two traits. My students are amazing people! They are eager to design and build their own unique experiences, and they are interested in learning and applying new tools.
Our charter school has a mixed population of 64% Title I (unduplicated count) students from predominantly urban settings.
Students of all races and a number of ethnic backgrounds work together in a safe and secure environment. Our school demographics are as follows: 3.8% Asian, 31.2% Afro-American, 30.1% Hispanic 5.9% multiracial, and 29.0% White. Students at our school are motivated and enthusiastic when given the opportunity to show their inventiveness and talents.
My Project
Our chemistry department is using a new curriculum that asks students to model the making and breaking of bonds to understand how and where energy is stored/released in chemical reactions.
By providing these magnets, you will help us allow students to experience hands-on, the rearrangement and formation of chemical reactions.
These magnets will augment molecular model kits by focusing more on the energy stored and released in the bonds between atoms as compared to the moles (number of molecules) needed to balance a reaction. These items will allow students to visualize the "magnetic" forces betweeen bonds.
