My Project

We all know that knowledge is constructed through experience. My students will benefit tremendously from getting messy, seeking their own answers, and discovering science for themselves. With your generosity, my students will be able to create working circuits, investigate the parts of a flower using a model, check the weather each day using the weather instruments, use the hot plate to demonstrate the change in matter with the addition of heat, and so much more. The posters will give my students visuals and allow them to see the current curriculum colorfully displayed throughout our classroom.

This project will give my students the opportunity to bring science to life and have experiences outside of the textbook and computer.

I'm excited to see my students have hands-on science experiences to promote achievement and engagement. Help me to make a difference in the lives of my students.
