Mrs. Utley-Lott from Jacksonville FL is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Science is My Super Power

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn science through hands-on science inquiry. With many Covid restrictions lifted this school year, I am excited to allow my students to work cooperatively once again.

My Project

As I begin my 33rd year of teaching, I am so blessed and grateful to be teaching my absolute favorite subject- SCIENCE! I love seeing my students grow into Scientists and develop a love of questioning the why and how.

One of my favorite activities with my fifth graders is designing rockets out of film canisters, water, and Alka-Seltzer.

I love watching my students control the variables of how much water and Alka-Seltzer will create the largest propulsion. They screech with delight as their rockets "blast" into outer space.
