Help me give my students the equipment they need to do a variety of science experiments, and the exercise equipment they need to get their bodies and brains active!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. R.'s classroom raised $939

My Project
My students have almost no science equipment, which hinders their ability to get hands-on experience regarding their science lessons. They also have only a soccer ball and a basketball - one of each - for sports equipment. I believe that if they had more exercise/sports equipment, they would exercise more which would in turn help them in the classroom.
Giving my students both exercise and science equipment will benefit them two-fold by providing them with a variety of ways to exercise (which is shown to improve academic performance by enhancing cognitive function, concentration, and memory), and a way to get more from our science classes by allowing them the opportunity to conduct experiments that they would otherwise only read about.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
More than half of students from low‑income households
