My Project

I teach Science to a wonderful group of elementary school students from a small community in the Bay Area. This is such a magical age, and I love seeing how excited my students are to learn about the wonders of Science!

Introducing a plant stand with grow lights and a mini refrigerator/freezer to hold various experiments will significantly enhance our science program!

The plant stand with grow lights will allow students to observe how different light conditions affect plant growth over time. With the mini refrigerator/freezer, we will be able to store various seeds, plant nutrients and other materials in a controlled way, ensuring they are fresh and ready for our science experiments.

Thank you for your consideration and support! I want to do everything I can to make Science interactive and fun, while cultivating curiosity and critical thinking skills in my young students!
