My Project

The project aims to give students a tactile, visual experience as they create their own models of the planets. By building 3D representations, students will not only learn about each planet's unique characteristics but also enhance their fine motor skills, creativity, and understanding of science concepts like gravity, orbit, and space exploration. This project is especially beneficial for our students with autism, providing a sensory-friendly and interactive way to engage with the material.

To make this project a success, we are seeking donations of supplies, including Model Magic clay, styrofoam spheres, paint, pipe cleaners, and poster board.

Your generous donation will not only help us create a stimulating learning environment but also make science more accessible and exciting for our students. Any contribution will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for considering this request. Your support would make a significant impact on the learning experiences of our students, and we are grateful for any help you can offer.
