My Project

The opportunity to explore the environment and the climate through the exploration of STEM projects will extend the observation of how species and humans are affected by the weather and climate. I am requesting STEM Kits, Wind Turbine Science Kit, Green Science Weather Kit, The Genius Square puzzle game, Building Blocks and more.

Exploration and determination will explain to students the ways that the climate and environment changes things around us.

Students will learn that the climate affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from our food sources to our transport infrastructure, from what clothes we wear, to where we go on holiday. It has a huge effect on our livelihoods, our health, and our future.

We know that our climate is changing due to humans, and these changes are already having a big impact on our lives.

Studying the climate helps predict rain seasons, or how far sea temperatures and how the climate affects species.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
