Understanding Us: Human Body Science for GATES will allow students to explore body systems through hands-on investigations, engineering design challenges, and movement-based learning experiences. When students previewed the concept of this unit and realized they would be modeling heart rate changes, investigating how body systems interact, and solving real-world health challenges, their curiosity immediately ignited. They are especially excited about using engineering principles to better understand how the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and respiratory systems work together.\r\n\r\nThroughout this unit, students will analyze how systems function independently and interdependently, collect and interpret data, and apply scientific reasoning to explain cause-and-effect relationships within the body. They will engage in collaborative problem-solving tasks that simulate real medical and biological challenges, strengthening both their content knowledge and their critical thinking skills. One powerful culminating experience will involve students designing and presenting a systems-based solution that demonstrates how the body maintains balance and responds to change.\r\n\r\nIn addition to fostering curiosity and deeper scientific understanding, this unit will directly support improved performance on MAP Science assessments by strengthening vocabulary, systems thinking, and application of scientific concepts. Rather than memorizing isolated facts, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of how body systems connect and function as a whole. Because of your support, our 5th grade GATES students will not only be better prepared academically, they will leave this unit with a stronger appreciation for the incredible design of the human body and greater confidence in their ability to think like scientists. Thank you for investing in their growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1771081265664,"projectUrl":"project/understanding-us-human-body-science-for/10048867/","projectTitle":"Understanding Us: Human Body Science for GATES","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Landburg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4962610_orig.jpg?crop=2807,2807,x1357,y2972&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769020011497","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/landburg"},{"teacherId":4962610,"projectId":10048825,"letterContent":"Your support is helping us launch something incredibly special for our newest 2nd grade GATES students. Unleash Your Wild Side: STEAM Ecosystems for GATES will be the very first unit they experience next school year, setting the tone for curiosity, creativity, and high-level thinking from day one. When students previewed the materials and learned they would be exploring ecosystems from the Arctic to the desert through hands-on STEAM challenges, their excitement was immediate. They were especially thrilled to hear they would be building models, creating habitat designs, integrating art and science, and investigating how living things depend on one another. For many of these students, this will be their first experience in GATES, and thanks to you, that first impression will be one of wonder, rigor, and possibility.\r\n\r\nThroughout the unit, students will investigate real-world environmental systems, analyze how organisms adapt to survive, and design creative solutions to ecosystem challenges. They will collaborate in teams, ask deep questions, test ideas, and reflect on how human actions impact the natural world. One powerful moment we anticipate is when students construct and present their own ecosystem models, explaining the relationships between producers, consumers, decomposers, climate, and geography. This work builds far beyond simple science facts, it develops systems thinking, problem-solving, and global awareness.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our 2nd grade GATES curriculum will begin with an engaging, academically enriched foundation rooted in STEM, creativity, and real-world application. You are helping shape confident young thinkers who understand that learning is an adventure, and that they have the power to explore, design, and protect the world around them.

With GATES Engineers in Action: Build a Better World, we are building a complete, cohesive curriculum rooted in academic enrichment, STEM exploration, curiosity, and real-world problem-solving. Although we will officially launch this unit next school year, students have already been buzzing with excitement as they preview the materials and learn that they will be tackling authentic challenges like designing structures that can withstand earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural forces. The moment they realized they would be acting as real engineers, testing, redesigning, and defending their solutions, was pure joy. You could see their confidence grow as they understood that this wasn't just a \"project,\" but meaningful work connected to the world around them.\r\n\r\nNext year, our third graders will collaborate in engineering teams to design, test, and refine models that simulate real-world disaster scenarios. They will analyze data, apply critical thinking, and use the engineering design process to improve their structures. One of our culminating experiences will involve students creating and presenting their own \"better world\" design solutions, where they will justify their decisions using evidence and scientific reasoning. Because of you, our students will not just learn about science and engineering, they will experience it. Your support is helping us cultivate resilient thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and confident leaders who understand that they have the power to design solutions that make the world stronger and safer.
