Mrs. Cooper from Gastonia NC is requesting other through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Magnetic Learning

My students need two Lakeshore Magnet Kits which contain ring, bar, wand, and horseshoe magnets.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Help!! My class is in desperate need of hands-on magnetic materials. I teach second grade at a dual curriculum charter school in North Carolina. I need two magnetic kits to enhance the learning of my eager students.

The school I teach at has limited funding. We rely mostly on grants and donations to fulfill our classroom supplies. The one magnetism kit I have used for the past two years is a resource for the entire school. Each year there are fewer and fewer materials in the kit. This makes it very challenging to ensure all of my students have a hands-on opportunity to explore magnets in a timely matter.

I need magnetic kits which include the four basic types of magnets(ring, bar, wand, and horseshoe)and various objects along with activity cards. I will use the kits during instruction so that all of my students have a hands-on opportunity to explore magnetism.

Your help will make it possible for my students to both visually and physically explore how magnetism works.
