My Project

My classroom includes both hands-on discovery and digital exploration. Students participate in science stations, project-based learning in science, science lab investigations and STEM activities. After experiencing distance learning during COVID-19, teachers will need to balance hands-on discovery with online learning.

Providing science students with fun and engaging lessons through hands-on discovery and digital exploration, will empower our students to become strong and independent thinkers who will be excited to learn, especially during these uncertain times.

Please help me give my students access to printable and digital resources they can use for STEM-based projects, science center activities, online learning, and so much more! Therefore, I hope you will choose to partner with our class to make that happen by supporting a gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers.
