My Project

I am an experienced STEAM teacher that is beginning a new year in a school of poverty and want to provide my students with learning resources that I am familiar with using in my last school of poverty.

The aquarium equipment is perfect for providing opportunities for young students to learn and take care of plants and animals.

I have had great success integrating science content for multiple grade levels by introducing plants and animals in our aquarium. I have purchased the tank, filters, and animals, but need help paying for the maintenance of the aquarium.

Thank you so much for donating to my classroom to help provide my students with amazing learning opportunities! You have truly made a difference in their lives!
