Your Help Matters!

Help me give my students materials for learning science through student centered activities!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Soumya's classroom raised $268

This project is fully funded

My Project

These materials will continue to enhance the student activity centered that I strive to create. My classroom is a place where my students really enjoy doing things, they learn science concepts through group work and discussions. We need more materials to have students experience the real life connection of science concepts. We have seen a big leap in understanding when the students create their knowledge through well planned activities. These materiasl will be utilized to understand concepts like Newton's laws, Sound Plate tectonics, Energy, Chemical reactions and matter etc
