The materials will help my students be engaged in the Sscience lab. Currently our science lab is not to its full potential. The lab does not have working triple beam balances. The energy sticks are a great way to teach currents and electricity. Help spark the curiosity in my students to keep learning about science concepts. With these materials, students will be able to engage in hands-on experiences versus a textbook. Students will be able to focus on the objects and link the learnings to real life experiences. Please help fund our science lab.
