My Project

Imagine a classroom buzzing with excitement as students become real-life scientists, observing the rapid growth of plants and uncovering the secrets of genetics and environmental adaptation. This project will transform learning by allowing students to grow and study plants, exploring how traits are inherited and how environmental factors influence growth. With grow lights and hands-on experimentation, students will design experiments, collect and analyze data, and engage in meaningful discussions that deepen their understanding of biology.

In a world where science and sustainability are more important than ever, this project will empower students to connect classroom learning to real-world challenges.

By nurturing plants and studying biodiversity, they will also learn the importance of sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. These experiences not only teach biology but also cultivate collaboration, critical thinking, and a passion for discovery.

Students in my classroom are eager to dive into hands-on learning, but limited resources often make it challenging to provide the tools they need. Your donation will help give them access to grow lights, soil, planting trays, and other essential materials to make this vision a reality. Together, we can inspire the next generation of scientists and environmental leaders.

Every contribution, big or small, will bring this project closer to fruition and double its impact thanks to the Con Edison match program. Help me give my students the tools they need to explore the wonders of science, one seed at a time!
