How can we encourage and get students to be hands on and motivated about science without having to require many materials? There are many people struggling at the moment and parents may not have the time or money to get materials needed. Is there a ways we can navigate these type of experiments for our students?

Hi Laura, I do think in order to have our students encouraged and motivated is by creating and them themselves participating in a hands on activity. I have actually seen many online stimulator apps and websites that can help with this. I think this can help as well as videos of other people doing similar projects. Although something that can help and might work is to use common materials easy to find at home as well as nonexpensive materials. 

Hi laura, I believe by having activities with everyday materials that can be found in their household you can get more engagment. The students will be more encouraged to padticipate.

Hi Laura,

You could also assign projects and have your students find the materials they would use. Do you have any project ideas? 

All the best,

One way to keep children entertained through distant learning is by sharing screens and trying to find activities that involves discussion. It is important to ask questions frequently and randomly to keep student aware.
