My Project

Our students are receiving targeted instruction in science and social studies this summer. We plan to make it a fun and highly interactive educational experience for all the student participants by including hands on activities that they can do to enrich their learning.

These requested materials will be used to create rockets fueled by baking soda and vinegar; balloon cars powered by air, parachutes for launching eggs, moon dough to experience space on earth, and straws to take core samples of candy bars.

Each week we will focus on a new project.
