I teach kindergarten in Brooklyn, NY. At our school, Science is considered a cluster class, meaning a different teacher provides instruction to my students. Unfortunately, my class was one of the several kindergarten classes left out of the science rotation this year. My proposal is to fund hands-on science experiment kits from Delta Education so that I can effectively provide my class with the instruction they are missing out on.

Each kit contains all the materials necessary for 12 different activities and experiments within the subject of the unit. The activities can be implemented in our regular classroom. The kits also come with related texts that my students will be able to read.

Working with these kits will give my students a chance to learn and understand the scientific method and the process of observing and recording experiments. My kids can enter future grades with a solid science background and a thirst for more. As an added bonus, the kits can be refilled and reused in later years when other kindergarten classes are left out of the science loop!

The cost of 3 science kits (Observing an Aquarium, From Seed to Plant, and Sunshine and Shadows) from Delta Education is $1,460, including shipping and fulfillment .
