My Project

My project is for my students to learn more about weather and climate. They will be able to learn with hands-on activities. Students will be able to learn about wind currents and static electricity. Students will also learn about the greenhouse effect. We will be able to use our hydroponic systems to analyze the greenhouse effect. Students will also recreate the water cycle.

Learning science hands-on is fun and motivating, especially with my special needs students, and the students will comprehend the concepts better through playing a game.

The plate tectonics game will enhance my student's learning of Earth Science and how our Earth was formed. Four students will be able to compete against one another about their knowledge of plate tectonics. The game will be a great review before my student's test. The kits and games will allow my students to learn about science through STEM Activities.
