MICROGRANT PROJECT ABSTRACT
Issues addressed: Engagement and hands-on learning in chemistry, physics, ecology, and anatomy classes
Topic: Raising Engagement in STEM Classrooms via Hands-On Learning
Rationale: At Herron, we are constantly working to tie lessons in the classroom to students’ lives outside of the classroom and to make lessons stick with students. With this grant, we purchased equipment and materials to increase hands-on learning both in our STEM classrooms and outside of the classroom.
