Anonymous Family Foundation - $356.79
Goal
The Science Department would like to encourage our students to dig deep in their learning of science standards and engaged in understanding difficult concepts by creating Escape Room themed learning stations to use when reviewing concepts.
Category
School supplies - Markers, paints, paper, crayons, clay, pencils, sharpies, modeling dough, etc.
What will be done with my students
Our science teachers will use the supplies purchased to create escape room challenges based on science standards, to review concepts, and students will participate during class using these supplies and our lessons created. Can our students escape out? With this Futures funded grant our students will be challenged and we will see! Standards to be covered for 8th grade & Biology include for first semester:
SC.8.N.1.1, SC.8.N.3.2, SC.8.P.8.7, SC.8.P.8.6, SC.8.P.8.5, SC.8.P.8.9, SC.8.P.8.8, SC.8.P.8.4, SC.8.P.8.3, SC.8.P.8.2
SC.912.N.1.1, SC.912.L.16.17, SC.912.L.14.1, SC.912.L.18.1, SC.912.L.18.9, SC.912.L.14.3, SC.912.L.18.12, SC.912.L.16.3
Benefits to my students
Students no longer learn best in a “sit and get” model, or teacher directed learning environment. The supplies we purchase will serve our students best as they are independently thinking, collaborating with peers, and utilizing science concepts, to “escape” out of a task using clues and hands on activities.
Budget Narrative
The purchasing of these items will be used interchangeably with all 8th grade science standards and Biology standards. Other science teachers will also use them as they collaborate with our team.
