Bringing Science to Life

My students need hands-on activity tubs for Electricity, Matter, Force and Motion, Solar System and Earth Properties. We also need a Butterfly House for life cycles.

My Students

Teaching at an economically disadvantaged school is hard but my students zest for learning is amazing! With non-existent classroom budgets, it makes it very hard to provide hands-on learning activities to re-enforce concepts being taught. Please help provide much needed supplies.

We are the Tigers and I know you will hear us roar when we sit down to science and our brains come "alive".

Real home lives are non-existent and my students find comfort in me and the classroom environment. They are so amazing and they want more and know that the only way to getting it is through education. We are small, but we are mighty!

My Project

My students will actually be able to apply what they've learned using manipulatives to further their retention. The hands-on packages I have asked for are ones that will enable us to do several experiments over one concept. My students will be able to use the items over and over, year after year. You will be providing the "world" to my students by helping them apply the topics.

We have little to no supplies and unfortunately my personal pocket is too small to support what we truly need to be successful.

YOUR donation would be supplying year round experiments for over 40 kids in impoverished situations.
