Project Title: Precision in Action: Powering STEM Practices, Inquiry, and Innovation in 8th Grade Science
Teachers: Haley Kalina
School: Discovery Middle School
Students Impacted: 330 grade 8 students
Amount Funded: $1,000
The “Precision in Action” project will equip 8th grade Physical Science classrooms with additional electronic balances and physics cart tracks to enhance phenomena-based investigations. This will give students improved access to precise tools for exploring concepts like mass, force, motion, energy transfer, sound, and chemical reactions through real-world problem solving. The project aims to expand hands-on opportunities and test stations, ensuring equitable participation, strengthening data accuracy, and promoting rigorous, three-dimensional learning aligned with new standards.
