Help me give my students a tropical aquarium to spark scientific curiosity and learning!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carter's classroom raised $187
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are curious learners who absolutely love science! We do many hands-on science explorations throughout the year, but our life science units are a little dry! My students would love to learn about living things, habitats, and adaptations through studying their very own tropical fish aquarium!
Please help set my students up with a tropical aquarium for up-close science lessons!
These budding scientists will love observing fish behavior and learning about their needs and adaptations. They will also enjoy reading books about fish and fish care. An aquarium is also very soothing and will help create a calm and inviting classroom environment.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
