We need books and materials that I will use to develop science and social studies units of exploration based on student interest.Imagine a third grade student that has completed her assigned work. She excitedly selects a plastic box labeled 鈥淔orce and Motion.鈥 It is filled with books, materials and activities about basic physics concepts. She reads the book 鈥淧ushes and Pulls.鈥 Then she and another student build a catapult with the 鈥淓ngino Discovering STEM Newton's Laws Inertia, Momentum, Kinetic & Potential Energy Construction Kit.鈥 The students then pick an activity from the book, 鈥淓xperiments in Forces and Motion with Toys and Everyday Stuff,鈥 complete the experiment, and write a report explaining their results.
Children that are engaged in directing their own learning gain focus, motivation and perseverance in all aspects of classroom learning. Their confidence goes through the roof! My goal is to create these learning units covering four exciting topics- human body systems, ancient Egypt, force and motion and magnetism- for students to explore and play with in order to increase engagement, spark curiosity and unleash creativity.
