This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Help rural middle schoolers explore the world of science by following the transfer of energy from atoms to ecosystems. Kids are ready to learn! Just need a little help getting the supplies.
STEM kits will help kids visualize the structure of common molecules, experiment with gasses to power their rockets, and even create living ecosystems to study!
They will develop science and critical thinking skills by growing bacteria in a petri dish, experimenting with growing plants using plant stands and terrarium sets and eventually exploring the transfer of energy through an entire ecosystem. Nothing is better than hands-on, all experience hands!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
