Is it Fair to NOT have a Science Fair? NO!

My students need project boards and titles, markers, and eye, ear, and DNA models so we can have a science fair!

My Students

Putting on a science fair can be expensive! Several of my students can't afford the materials needed to put together a quality project. "Not Fair!" I say.

I teach middle school science for a very talented group of students.

I would like them all to participate in a science fair this year, but limited funds may keep us from even getting started. They are excited to get started, but we are in need of some basic supplies.

My Project

We are in need of display boards for each student and a few packs of Sharpie markers. Topics that we have been studying this year include sound waves and light waves as well as DNA and heredity traits. My students would love to have an actual model of with their display boards to make their presentations more interactive!

I admire my students tenacity to have a science fair, but they would really like to do it right!

Please help us get a start by providing the basic materials and we will do the rest!!
