"Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand," Neil Armstrong said, and this Astronomy unit and materials will enable my students to do exactly that!
My students are 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in the Gifted and Talented program.
Since I teach at three schools, I teach and impact over 30 students.
My students attend school in very low socio-economic areas. Although they obtain and display higher level thinking skills, many lack the background knowledge and experience of different aspects of Science.
My Project
Obtaining Astronomy materials will allow my students to directly experience and learn about this area of Science that is typically left out of science programs. The resources and materials will help provide in-depth activities and learning to take place.
Your donations will enable my Gifted and Talented students to wonder and desire to understand the world around them by exploring Astronomy!
You will help make it possible for our future scientists to begin their passionate learning and dedication to this field of Science!
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
