My Students

Do you remember the time you went to an aquarium? Looking at the different marine animals brought such light into your eyes. I want my student to have the same enthusiasm and excitement when they walk into my science classroom!

My students attend a urban school district.

The students are unfortunate not to have the benefit of leaving the school building as often as one would like to experience science. Notwithstanding, I would like to bring science to my classroom by obtaining living animals so my students are able to view them without having the difficulty of leaving the classroom. Therefore, it is essential that I am able to obtain various ecosystems that I would be able to take care of within the classroom environment.

My Project

By obtaining the fish tank with its live organisms, my students will have a firsthand experience of observing real animals within the science classroom. It is essential that I am able to obtain various ecosystems that I would be able to take care of within the classroom environment so my students are able to feel what a real and exciting classroom this is. It would be most intriguing for my students. Not all students have the opportunity to travel, experience, and learn. Notwithstanding, I would like to bring science to my classroom so that my students are most intrigued! How can I conduct this method? Beginning with the donation of a fish tank, I am able to bring in living organisms within my classroom so my students have a firsthand view of live animals!

Your donations will enhance the knowledge my students will be able to obtain.

My students will be able to observe organisms within the classroom that they will never have the opportunity to see themselves. Bringing the aquarium into my classroom is the best way to make this possible!
