New Year Engineer!

Help me give my students a new Science Lab experience and materials for our next Science Unit that will last ten weeks! Three Kindergarten classes will plan, design, build, and test their very own pinball machines!

My Project

Science is best learned with hands on experiences. The requested materials will ensure that every child has the opportunity to develop their very own model of a pinball machine. We need markers, tape, craft sticks, card stock, glue and more.

The entire second Unit of our Amplify Science curriculum is centered around the phenomenon of motion, forces, and controlling these variables.

Our school had an unfortunate incident wherein the majority of our Amplify Science supplies were discarded accidentally and we are desperately in need of materials to effectively teach this unit to our Kindergarten classes. With your support, we will be able to open a new Science room and kick start the New Year as Engineers!
