Mrs. Bibb from Radford VA is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Science....It's Everywhere!!

My students need assorted Science equipment so I can create "Science buckets" for use outside during recess or for lessons.

My Students

Science is EVERYWHERE, and I want to help my students be able to explore the world around them! By offering "science buckets" with a variety of science instruments and tools, my students can explore the world outside our school and learn science using hands-on activities!

I teach in a small school in far Southwest Virginia.

My school has a large percentage of students recieving free and reduced lunch. I have a group of students this year who are very interested in science and exploring the world around them. They do not have the materials at home to enhance their learning. I want to create "science buckets" to use at recess on the playground, and for them to check out to take home. My science buckets would include magnifying glasses, eye droppers, binoculars, and other science tools. I would also include notebooks for them to record their observations, keep data, and draw pictures of what they see. This will give them a whole new way to learn science!!

My Project

By donating to my project and helping me create these 12 science buckets, you will be opening up a whole new avenue of learning for children. They can explore the world around them and learn first hand so many science concepts rather than just reading about them. We can even share the buckets with families at home, as well as other grade levels at our school.

Imagine students looking at a blade of grass, or an ant, or a rock through the magnifying glass and writing or drawing what they observe.

Can you see them talking science with other students(even other grade levels) on the playground while exploring with the tools in our science buckets? I envision sending buckets home for the weekend so families can explore their yards or the local park. Help make this possible by donating to this exciting project!
