$500 Consumable Grant: 6-8 Science Department at North Tahoe School
Provide conceptual experiments and projects that help students' experience and understand the abstract ideas of science.
The supplies purchased with the money will be dependent on the particular experiments and projects used by teacher. The supplies will be used by all students in the science programs as the students design, develop, and test their scientific thinking.
1) All students will gain experience with scientific processes by participating in designing and conducting experiments pertaining to the California Standards for their particular grade level.2) Students will complete experimental write-ups as part of the reflecting and communicating ideas for each experiment/project.
Our sixth through eighth grade science courses include many experiments and projects. In addition to the standard science equipment already at our school, we purchase a tremendous amount of consumable materials each year. Our supply sources for the majority of these consumables are the local grocery and hardware stores in addition to Costco and Wal Mart. We would like to create a fund that will reimburse our purchases at these stores.
WE have a very "hands-on" minded science PLC and having the funding for consumable materials will allow us to continue to design and offer these wonderful concrete experiences to our students.
