When you walk into my classroom you will find an eager group of sixth grade students who are excited to immerse themselves into scientific investigations. Each day 4 sections (approximately 30 students in each) of these energetic students enter my classroom with a thirst to ask questions, make hypotheses, and test their conclusions in order to learn to think like a scientist. These students come from a low socioeconomic and highly immigrant community. Due to their situation they have often spent most of their elementary years focused on reading and math, and enter my sixth grade science class with little experience in scientific experimentation.
