My Project

5th grade is one of the last years my student have in elementary school. I want to make it a blast for them. Having hands on representations of these cells is a great tool when discussing their parts. The laws of motion and matter are easily conceptualized but demonstrations that can be done with these items.

Science is a subject that is best learned by hands on activities, this donation makes that possible.

The students get so excited when they get to do an activity. The energy in the room is electric.
