Hands-on activities and labs make Science more fun AND help students to understand concepts. We will begin our year with an integrated unit that includes "How Science Works" and Energy. We will make solar ovens and use them to cook hot dogs, apples, and "s'mores." We will need the following materials. If you are able to help by bringing any of the items below (in any amount or size), please let me know. Your donation(s) will be greatly appreciated!
How Science Works / Energy Integrated Unit (first week of school)
Please check out our class ADOPT-A-LAB tree on the whiteboard, available for Open House, and choose an item to donate to our 8th grade science LABS! ~ TIA!!!
My Teacher's Wish List:
Extra college ruled composition books ("cow" journals) for students who can't buy one
whiteboard markers (one set basic colors, one set black) - please, NO "low odor"!
Chart paper (for group work, to put on walls)
index cards (LOTS! - each child needs about 250, but many students will NOT bring ANY)
pencils (LOTS! - I need a "pencil tree")
pencil sharpener
brightly colored copy paper for foldables - any colors that are not too dark to read the print would be fine
How Science Works / Energy Integrated Unit (first week of school)
- Small boxes with lids (hinged or separate), any shape
- aluminum foil (LOTS)
- Duct Tape (plain, gray kind)
- Saran Wrap, or any type of clear plastic (to use for window of oven)
- Paint sticks or dowels (size doesn't matter, we can cut them) to use to prop up lids when oven is open
