My Project

We love to explore science hands on with lots of labs and projects. I love to see them fall in love with science and these resources will help them grow.

We will use microscope slides to explore ecosystems and pathogens.

Students will be able to visually learn. All of these supplies will help build our science lab so we can focus on learning and developing a love for science.

My students thrive in an environment where they can explore and create while learning. A well stocked room helps provide them with the resources needed to thrive.
