My Project

Imagine a classroom buzzing with excitement as students embark on a journey into the fascinating world of genetics. With your generous support, we aim to introduce Wisconsin Fast Plants® to our 7th-grade science students, providing them with hands-on experiences that will deepen their understanding of genetics and plant biology. These specially bred plants offer a rapid growth cycle, allowing students to witness genetic traits in action within a single semester.

By incorporating Wisconsin Fast Plants® into our classroom, we will:

1) Engage students in active learning, fostering curiosity and critical thinking skills. 2) Provide a tangible connection to genetic concepts, allowing students to witness inheritance patterns and variations firsthand. 3) Encourage collaboration and teamwork as students design and conduct experiments to investigate genetic traits. 4)Spark a lifelong interest in science and encourage students to pursue further studies in biology and related fields.
