Kids are naturally curious. And when science is taught correctly it becomes not just another subject, but a chance to explore the world and how it works.
My students need triple beam balances, Petri dishes, and beakers in order to explore the conservation of mass. They also need different rock samples and glass slides in order to explore properties of matter while performing scratch tests on rock specimens.
By providing students with the materials on this wish list, the learning jumps off the page into the hands of the students. Kids learn best by doing: by touching and manipulating materials. Performing a scratch test on rocks using the requested samples, and weighing matter to explore conservation of mass using "real," not plastic, balances is ever so much more interesting than reading about it.
Sometimes students who aren't the slightest bit interested in other academic areas become excited about science. When a love for learning science takes hold, I like to think it may transfer to related areas of the academic curriculum, such as math and reading to learn.
