Before venturing to the Dollar Store with my fellow classmates, I didn't realize how easy it was to find affordable things that could easily integrated into your lessons.
After seeing the previous lab sections selections I had some ideas as to what I was going to buy. My first item was a package of trays with different compartments. I planned on filling the compartments with different soils, and running water down them when they were tilted on an angle. This was to demonstrate erosion. I also bought a package of rocks to demonstrate drainage.
Then I bought a package of pipe cleaners to build animal skeletons. I got this idea from Mr. Heasley's Ag Class.
My next item was a package of socks. I got an from pinterest where you hike in socks or with socks around your shoes. Then you put the sock in a plastic bag in the sunlight, and weeds will grow from it.
My last item was a synthetic flower that had leaves, leaflets, petals, and other identifiable parts to it. I could use this for a horticulture class.
This was a good opportunity for us to be creative and get exposure to some cheap classroom tools.
