Students need hands on science activities to be engaged, learn and have a blast also. The pure joy you see when you announce that it is a day to do an experiment just gives my teammates and I encouragement that we are at at the right place enriching students. Some of our students don't have a home life where education is a priority and these activities make an impact on them. We want to keep the tradition of experiments going! We have been able to do these for the last couple years by buying them ourselves so the kids can have the learning experience. The past students have loved them and have told the students about it. These will be used for the fun science day with the Diet Coke and Mentoes cars and huge bubbles. We talk about the chemistry and how it all works. Thank you for your consideration! I love teaching and want to keep students learning and enjoying school.
