My Project

Most children benefit significantly from hands-on, real-life experiences. These tools will allow me to bring our science curriculum to life for my students.

Children gain significantly more knowledge from physically engaging with materials.

The books and items I've requested will provide them with opportunities to touch and see science in a whole new way.

My students will be able to chisel away like archeologists to find dinosaur fossils instead of looking at pictures in a textbook. They will be building a rollercoaster model to show force and motion. These opportunities will cement the key concepts of science at the third grade level for them.
