Brain Science Unit Help

Help me give my students supplies for the brain science unit. I’ve got a ton of really creative ideas to go along with this unit to engage my students, but I cannot afford to purchase the supplies needed.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Halko's classroom raised $322

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help ignite young minds! Support my 7th grade ELA students as they explore the fascinating world of brain science. Your generous donation of supplies will empower them to dive deeper into this captivating subject and unlock their full potential. Together, let's fuel their curiosity and pave the way for a brighter future!

I’ve requested brains they can hold and see the different parts and shower caps so we can draw the parts of the brain!

Please help me get these supplies for my students. This is going to be awesome!!
