Animal-azing science!

Help me give my students dissection kits for scientific hands-on learning and other tools to support the process! I loop with my students and they have been talking about dissection for quite some time!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fisher's classroom raised $950

My Project

My students are so willing to learn when given the opportunity. I loop with my students for middle school, in 7th and 8th grade. They have been asking to dissect animals in science for quite some time so we need new tools.

My students always give their best during both math and science classes, I want to provide them with a hands-on, immersive experience that they will learn so much!

I love that all of my students strive to be their best in math and science. We will continue our exploration into animals and the environment.
