My Project

Our kindergarten class is eager to explore the world of science through hands-on learning! We’re seeking materials to enrich three exciting units: Forces, Reduce/Reuse/Recycle, and Living/Nonliving Things.

Science comes alive when students can see, touch, and interact with the concepts they’re learning.

These materials will allow them to experiment with physical forces, explore environmental sustainability, and observe nature up close. By providing these resources, you’ll help students deepen their understanding and develop critical thinking skills through interactive experiences.

Your donation will inspire curiosity, foster discovery, and encourage a lifelong love of science. Thank you for supporting our future scientists!
