My Project

Housed in an elementary public school's science lab, the STEM Lab Zoo is home to a plethora of living things. Here, students have the opportunity to learn through observation, interaction, hands-on discovery, research and investigation . . . all with living things. Students have the opportunity to learn about Habitats, Environments, Food Chain, Survival, Camouflage, Reproduction, Life Cycle, Animal Care (just to name a few) and develop a love for all living things! The upkeep and sustainability comes with a fee, and as a Public School, requires support. This is why, we, my students and I, are asking for your support . . . to keep the STEM Lab Zoo running.
