My Project

Many of the materials on this list are items that are going to help us further our science understanding. The batteries will be used in our electricity unit, while using the dropper poppers will help us create charts and graphs. In the 5th grade state tests there are many charts and graphs that need to be understood, making engaging charts will help us how to read them.

The scales will be used to weigh how much waste each classroom in the school is being thrown away when we could be composting the food materials instead.

My goal as a science teacher in Saint Paul is to help students understand how everything we do trickles down the road.
