My Project

Many students learn best through hands-on methods, such as labs. It is especially important to conduct lab investigations in science so that students can be the scientists and make their own discoveries. The acid rain lab kit and ocean acidification kit will help make a difference in my students' learning by making these issues real to them.

Many students struggle to see the significance of science, unless it is relatable.

These investigations will show students the detrimental effects of climate change in real time. My goal for this project is to bring climate change to the classroom.

Grades 9-12
