Science Exploration Kits

My students need 8 Science Activity Kits.

  • $671 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach First Grade in a very rural and low income school district and I want to get my students excited about learning science.

My students would greatly benefit from these activity kits. My school district recently adopted a new science curriculum but did not have the funds to buy the manipulatives to go along with our new series. These kits will engage the students in hands on learning and prepare them for the standardized tests they will be taking.

Theses kits will cover science topics across the curriculum. Each of the tubs come with 40 easy-to-use cards featuring cross-curricular activities based on national science standards. My students will be able to create their own constellations, go on a rock scavenger hunt, keep a weather journal, test the pull of gravity and more. The tubs come with manipulatives for hands-on discovery, write & wipe experiment charts, a set of writing prompts and paperback books that explore concepts of rocks and soil, insects, weather, animals, matter, the solar system, plants, and force and motion.

With your donation my students will be able to get a more concrete understanding of the science concepts taught in class through hands on learning.
