My Project

In 6th grade, we spend a lot of time learning about weather and climate. These are necessary components and hands on tools such as beakers that will allow my students to take their learning and knowledge to the next step! Weather and climate is such an important factor that plays a role in our everyday lives, forever. When children are given the opportunity to learn and practice, at a younger age, they can take their knowledge and skills and actually feel confident in using them in the real world when they become adults!
