My Project

You've been told this since you were in elementary school, not to write on desks, but I'm here telling my kids to do so! With these desk-friendly chalk-markers, students will write on their desks to illustrate biological concepts such as photosynthesis, cellular respiration, central dogma, mitosis, meiosis, and energy transfer! Donating to this project will allow my students the thrill of writing on desks - and if you haven't been in a classroom lately - they truly do get quite excited! This project will increase student engagement and give them another surface to display their knowledge, but also the opportunity to learn from each other! The wipes will be used to clean up our chalk marker drawings to get ready for the next concept or class.
