Solar Powered Scientists

My students need energy science kits for hands-on projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Durr's classroom raised $1,743

This project is fully funded

My Students

Do you remember the first time you made an amazing discovery in Science? I like to teach science using experiments and hands-on projects. My students love discovering how the world works.

I teach 3rd, 4th and 5th grade science in a high poverty elementary school in Missouri.

Most of my students qualify for free/reduced lunch and many have a poor quality of life at home. My students have a love for learning and love doing experiments during Science class.

My Project

The energy kit I've requested will help my students investigate electric circuits and learn how to produce renewable energy. My students will learn how to build wind, water and solar powered devices. As a final project, my students will learn how to build a solar powered light or phone charger that could be used in emergencies.

This project will change my students' lives by giving us the resources to learn about energy.

Science is so much more than reading out of a text book. This kit will allow my students to experience science hands-on.
