My Project

My students love to get their hands dirty with science projects. Students will create plants using a hydroponics system, which might be the wave of the future. We will also grow plants in the traditional way with dirt. Students need the growing lights because their are no windows in the my classroom. The lights will allow us to bring the outside into the classroom.

These type of interactive activities will be remembered for years by my students.

Providing my students with STEM opportunities will will prepare them for an unlimited future.
