My Project
My students are bright, curious, and full of imagination. They love exploring science through hands-on activities and always get excited when learning feels like an adventure. What makes them special is their creativity and eagerness to dive into new concepts, especially when they can explore through STEAM projects that blend science and art.
With your support, we will bring the Solar System to life through interactive lessons and creative experiments.
One exciting activity is making galaxy slime—a fun, sensory project where students will learn about the colors and swirling patterns of nebulae and galaxies. As they mix glue, glitter, and other ingredients, they’ll also explore chemical reactions, states of matter, and the science behind what makes slime work. We’ll also use planet models and orbit kits to help students understand planetary movement, sizes, and distances in space.
My goal is to make learning memorable by connecting science to hands-on experiences. These materials will give my students the tools to explore space, work collaboratively, and build a deeper understanding of our universe—all while having fun and learning through play.
