Specific Aim / Goal: A few sentences on the educational goal / outcome for your students and how this is made possible by equipment/supplies purchased with mini-grant.

 The goal of this mini grant is to help students understand the inquiry process by getting them thinking differently by using their multiple intelligences. 

Proposal: Brief description of how you plan to use the equipment in your classroom to reach your educational goal.

 I plan to have my students create a video portfolio of how they learn using their multiple intelligences.  We will create songs and demonstrations using lab ideas from fast plants, bubble logy, DNA of strawberries, and NASA lunar rovers.  They will create weather station blogs and keep journals of how they investigate and proceed with their inquiry.  We will work in themes for each month.  They will set the tone of the inquiry and decide which intelligences to use based on how best they think.

The equipment I plan to use are the fast plants and 2 containers and light setup $65.00.

Bubbles soap and paper plates for bubble logy $10.00
