Launching a Science Olympiad Team

Help me give my students Science Olympiad supplies for help them compete in our district competition.

Ms. Simmons South Greenville Elementary School

Greenville, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

Our students are naturally curious, creative and eager to solve real-world problems. As a rural Title I school, many of our students have limited STEM enrichment opportunities. Our Science Olympiad team will provide students with hands-on experiences that foster critical thinking, collaboration, and scientific inquiry.

The materials requested will directly benefit 15 students participating in the district event.

The binders and other materials will help them organize event information, while the googles and supplies will help them to stay safe during competitions.

Students will use them to practice for event prior to competition, strengthening problem-solution and critical thinking skills.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
