My Project
My students are curious, creative, and ready to discover the wonders of science—they just need the tools to do it. In our next unit, we’ll be exploring sound and light waves, and I want to give my students an opportunity to experience these phenomena in a hands-on, engaging way.
To do this, I’m requesting materials like tuning forks, musical instruments, models, lasers, light meters, and other interactive tools that allow students to see how light bends, hear how sound travels, and understand how energy moves through waves.
These supplies will help turn abstract concepts into exciting, memorable experiences.
Our school serves a diverse population of students, many of whom don’t always have access to high-quality STEM materials outside of the classroom. With your support, I can provide them with the kind of immersive learning that inspires curiosity and builds confidence in science.
Every donation—big or small—will bring us closer to a classroom where learning comes to life. Thank you for helping us shine a light (and sound a tone!) on science.
