My Project

Help our young scientists explore the fascinating world of heat and temperature with an essential new tool—an ice maker! In our classroom, hands-on experiments are key to helping students understand complex scientific concepts, and access to ice will allow us to expand our range of experiments and demonstrations around the properties of heat, temperature, and energy transfer. Additionally, we can use this display thermometer for various uses in our classroom. We previously had an ice maker, but that one finally gave out.

With an ice maker, we can conduct exciting experiments that show how heat is transferred between objects of different temperatures, bringing abstract ideas to life in a way students can see and feel.

We can also demonstrate temperature changes through real-life applications, such as observing how ice melts in different environments or how energy is absorbed in different materials. Students will be engaged in inquiry-based learning by allowing them to make predictions, test hypotheses, and observe changes in temperature over time, fostering critical thinking and a hands-on approach to science.

An ice maker would be a valuable tool for sparking curiosity and deepening understanding of fundamental science concepts in our classroom. With your support, we can create memorable, interactive learning experiences that will inspire a love for science in our students!
