Science Explorations

Funded Nov 28, 2023

I am beyond thankful for your generous donations. I never thought our project would be funded. After COVID and with a great deal of budget cuts in our school, it has left us with no money on new materials. Our school opted to use Core Knowledge as the science curriculum after COVID. It is great because it really focuses on what the student knows and builds on that. However, this is a curriculum that is completely online and all materials have to be gathered by the teacher.

When entering the 2023-2024, I wasn't prepared to teach science at all. I love teaching science because I love hands on activities. I strongly believe that in order to really learn and appreciate science, it needs to be hands on. Once we received all of our materials our class blossomed. Please note, the science materials I asked for wasn't really for on particular project, it was to cover the entire curriculum (Matter, habitats, and landforms). We just completed our study of matter. through the games, flip charts, and science kits, our students were transformed into scientists. They were engaged, put their scientific minds to the test, and took off. We will be beginning our study of landforms in combination with habitats soon. I can't wait to continue to use all of our other materials that are set and ready for our little scientists to use.”

With gratitude,
