My Project

To be proficient scientist students need to make models. In class we make Paper Models of DNA, Lab Posters to defend the results of experiments, Draw cycles of matter with markers, crayons and tape.

Since the return to in person school, our students are struggling with food insecurity.

Having snacks on hand in the classroom can give them a quick boost to their brain to be able to focus in class.

During labs, folks with long hair need to be able to tie it back to keep safe. We need food coloring to visualize the process of diffusion during labs. Grow lamps show students the difference in efficiency between different colors of light during photosynthesis.
