My Project

We are explorers (pirates to be exact)! My students love to learn and they love science! I want them to have engaging, hands-on, and fun science learning experiences as we sail through first grade.

These science kits and books will help my students to explore hands-on science tools and amazing books that address our science goals while having fun learning!

These science kits and books fit right in with our focus on pushes and pulls, magnets, and rocks, as well as plant and animal needs.

I want my students to remember having so much fun in first grade science that they never forget these experiences and explorations!
