My Project

My Intermediate Grade 7 students will create a science fair project as their project-based activity for the school year.

My students need resources, books to fuel their mind with great ideas and creativity for Taking Action With Science to make an impact in the world they live in.

Through the use of books students can read, share, and create unique and exciting projects.

By the way of students reading their books independently, sharing their ideas with elementary school students, and creating their own science project, they will be able to refine their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills in the science, English, math, and social studies content classes.

Empowering students with a creative mind will allow them to take off and one day become successful students during their educational journey.
