Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 72

The grant provided by [Grant Provider Name] has been instrumental in empowering 72 students to pursue individualized science fair projects, tailored to their unique interests spanning a wide array of scientific disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and engineering. These projects ranged from investigating the effects of environmental pollutants on local ecosystems to exploring the principles of renewable energy technologies. Notably, five students emerged as Champions of the Elementary Science Expo, showcasing their exceptional dedication and scientific prowess in projects such as examining the efficacy of natural remedies in treating common ailments and exploring the potential applications of artificial intelligence in environmental conservation efforts. This achievement not only reflects the success of the grant in fostering scientific inquiry but also highlights the transformative impact it has had on our students' learning experiences. By providing resources and support for these individual projects, the grant has not only enhanced scientific literacy but also inspired a culture of curiosity and innovation within our school community. We extend our deepest gratitude to [Grant Provider Name] for their generous support and unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of scientists.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Nature of Science standards are always the lowest performing standards on the FSSA. My goal to rectify this problem is to ensure that my students work through the scientific method correctly when working on their science fair projects. Students will be mastering the (SC.5.N.1.1)(Define a problem, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identifications of variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions.)

What will be done with my students

All 70 of my students will work through their science fair projects at school. Students will be provided all of the materials they need to complete their projects and demonstrate their understanding of the scientific method. Each one of my students have a unique testable question that they will trying to answer through the scientific method. Each student has a unique testable question that they'll be addressing, and we are using this opportunity to cover 5th grade science standard SC.5.N.1.1. This standard is one of the most important 5th grade standards, and completing science fair projects allows us to cover this standard in a meaningful way.
(SC.5.N.1.1)(Define a problem, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identifications of variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions.)

Benefits to my students

This grant will benefit the families of my students because it will cover the cost of materials needed for each of the science fair projects. This grant will be helping over 70 students.

Budget Narrative

These items will be used for individual science fair projects. Students are doing projects with magnets, food testing, basketball (changing the gas), filtration, and plant testing. etc.
