My Project

Students are eager to explore items in nature. Often the objects are living and can not be handled by little hands. They are curious and want to have up-close experiences with nature. AT other times the objects they are seeking are not in our natural environment and they have limited opportunities to experience them. By bringing nature into our classroom using explorer cubes students can independently explore nature safely, right in the palm of their hands. Learning is more permanent when students are given opportunities for discovery learning.
