Goal

I am asking for a grant to cover the expense of snap circuits and solar powered cars for my fifth grade science students. The goal is to engage students in the fifth grade Energy standards, along with some third and fourth, to prepare them for the Science FAST in the spring. I hope to increase our score from last spring in science. We also plan on giving three benchmark tests throughout the year (beginning, middle, end) and hope to see a 10% improvement with each one. By engaging them in hands-on activities, this will allow them to apply Energy concepts to real world situations. 

 

Category

Learning Aids - Sunshine state book sets, robotics kits, puzzle boards, science models, engineering supplies, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

We will use the materials purchased with this grant to provide activities that allow for critical thinking and further understanding of energy content taught.  

 

Benefits to my students

Benefits to my students include…
Better understanding of third, fourth, and fifth grade energy science standards
Increased scores on the 2025 Science FAST
Students will be more engaged in science content
Improved scores on each of the county benchmark tests for the 2024-2025 school year (goal 10% improvement with each test)

 

 

Budget Narrative

Snap Circuits are approximately $40 each. I would like to purchase 15 kits/1 class set. Solar powered cars are 4/$15. I would like to have enough for each of my, almost 40, students to construct, and test, their own.
