My Project

The science center in my classroom is a very popular place. My students are naturally curious and want to learn more about insects, magnets, weather, life cycles and more. I want to encourage hands-on learning and provide science tools that can be used to sort and classify, measure, make predications and problem solve. A giant bug collection and the land and sea nature loose parts will be perfect to enhance self-exploration, vocabulary development and learning. The science viewer gives young learners a close up look and bring science to life!
