My Project

If you want a student to think like a scientist then dress them like a scientist! Then give them a scientist's tools. NOW they will act and think like a scientist!

This project provides aprons, safety glasses, lanyards, and a wide variety of science and engineering tools that they can use in the class.

This project includes a variety of engineering and science kits that will allow students to explore. I love to see the light in their eyes when they are imagining and building. They can learn by trial and error in a safe and supportive environment. Life is all about trial, error, and improvement. When kids experience this, they glow!

It is also easy to share the supplies among classes. These third grade students will really enjoy the challenges of scientific thinking.
