My Project

Science has been a huge focus area for our school for the last few years. Throughout COVID and virtual learning, students couldn't do hands-on science, which significantly impacted them. Over the last few years, our science scores and data have grown in the right direction, which is always encouraging! One area we are still struggling with is the scientific process.

The items in this project will provide my 5th graders with materials to perform three experiments.

The Kinetic Sand, Model Magic and Play-Doh will help with practicing the steps to the scientific process.
