A 2020 Grant for Hilda J. Barbour Elementary School

Generation Genius provides access to science lessons, unit vocabulary, quizzes,
science reading materials, DIY activities, discussion questions, teacher guides and exit tickets. Each lesson provides videos and hands on activities. This year, teachers are searching for high quality resources that can help students regardless of their mode of instruction. While nothing replaces hands-on experiments, Generation Genius will help all of the students of Hilda J. Barbour experience science in a format that is conducive to this year’s learning environment. In fifth grade, students will not only use the videos and exit tickets in their daily lessons, but some of the hands-on activities will be implemented within the classroom whenever possible, given the current COVID-19 restrictions. Discussion questions will be posted on Schoology as often as possible to spark investigative learning. Reading materials provided by Generation Genius will be used to integrate language arts into the science curriculum whenever appropriate.
