Tonia Kirby, a science teacher at RISE Academy in Rantoul, Illinois is passionate about providing her students with real-world experiences that will enhance their learning. She believes that exposing students to science in action is a valuable opportunity. On Monday, Kirby plans to take her students outside to observe the world around them.
On the other hand, Alison Zemba, an eighth-grade science teacher at Pittsburgh Classical Academy, is thrilled about the ASU-NASA partnership and the opportunities it provides for her students. She has been using Infiniscope’s Kingdom of Peril lessons in her classroom and has noticed that her students are enjoying them thoroughly. Zemba notes that her students have had “aha” moments and have used technology to learn about the Sun/Earth/Moon system.
Both teachers are dedicated to providing engaging and hands-on learning experiences for their students. They are grateful for the resources and partnerships that support their efforts in the classroom. The collaboration between schools, organizations, and educational initiatives is helping to inspire and motivate students in their exploration of science.
