My Students

My students consist of 8th Science students who have a love of problem solving. These materials will provide them with opportunities to do just that. I am blown away by their level of creativity and problem solving! Their parents are supportive of their interests and push them to excel in all areas at school, including extra-curricular activities.

My Project

These materials will allow students to have a more meaningful learning experience through hands-on manipulation of models. Hands-on exercises have proven vital in addressing the learning needs of a variety of learners. All of the items requested will be vital in providing those experiences to students. The water quality test kits and bird beak adaptation lab are used in a variety of lab exercises assigned throughout the year. The resources requested will serve the 6th, 7th and 8th -grade population at MPMS. I would like to thank you in advance for your generosity and for making these learning experiences available.
