Bring Science to Life!

Help me give my students the knowledge to grow and take care of their own plants.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nayna's classroom raised $463

My Project

I am a 2nd year Science Lab teacher at Title I school that hopes to provide hands on experiences to all her students. We have a school garden that brings a lot of joy to our students. The upcoming life science unit is a perfect opportunity to provide the students with a part of it to take home.

The pots and soil will allow my students to grow their own vegetable plants and observe plant life cycles in their own homes.

The puzzles and animals classification games will also help reinforce my students understanding in a hands on way.

Thank you for helping to give my students the opportunity to grow their knowledge of plants and animals in my classroom.
