My Project

My students are a curious group that loves to learn and enjoys any hands on activity thrown their way. I am requesting fossil kits to enhance my learners natural love of discovery and fossils.

This kit is perfect for introducing students to organisms that existed more than 400 million years ago!

Our class is also in need of large thermometers to conduct experiments on light being absorbed and reflected. Large pitchers will be a great addition to our classroom supplies to help with the many activities that take place during science instruction.
