My Project

Everyone's favorite part of science class is the labs. They help make class fun; but even more importantly, they encourage students to learn. Labs and activities allow students to witness the science they learn about in class. As they see it happen in front of them, they come to understand the science even better.

Sadly, many students are not enjoying science class anymore.

Many students don't get to do labs or interesting activities in their classes, which can make the concepts boring and difficult to understand. By donating, you are helping me not only make my class fun, but will help my students learn and care about biology.

Ms. Sexton
Grades 9-12
