My Students
A woman in science is a wonderful and powerful thing. Having the tools needed to achieve her goals in the classroom are just as powerful. With these materials, I can show my girls that science can and should be fun!
We are one of four all-girl public schools in New York City, with students ranging from 6th to 12th grades.
These girls come from low income areas where the high school graduation rates are on a decline. Our goal is to empower these young ladies by providing them with a strong education and to help them realize that college is more than just a dream, it is their future. My students are motivated and dedicated young women. They love to be engaged in science and exploratory activities. I want to give them every advantage that I can to do so.
My Project
Having materials for inquiry based learning and hands-on science labs is important for our students. The world has changed drastically in the last few decades and education needs to change too. With the hands-on materials that I am requesting, the girls will be able to form their own questions about science and then explore to find the answers. It encourages scientific thinking, exploration, and discussions.
I asked for nonfiction texts so that my students are able to, not only keep up with current science events but also, make connections between science and the real world.
My students are part of an all girls 6-12 school in urban New York.
Many of these girls are forced to grow up quicker than they should, due to stigmas and/or family obligations. They will see many of their friends incarcerated, become pregnant and drop out of school, or worse. For many of them, education will be their only escape from a world full of poverty and crime. I want to demonstrate to these girls that science can be fun, and yes, they can achieve and exceed even their own expectations!
