My Project

My students are so interested in learning about the world around them! Spring is around the corner and their curious minds are excited to learn about life cycles so it's a great way to bring in so many science aspects to explore. We have no microscopes and they have been asking so I'm designing mini-science lessons across many grade levels to teach. We don't have many supplies to explore science so I was hoping we could get some supplies that could be used across the board in our STEM classes!

We are getting butterflies and planning to plan plants this spring so these science center activities and tools will help us explore the world around us!

Many students with diverse backgrounds have not explored the world around them. With your help, we could get the proper tools and supplies so they can dig deeper into what they can't see with the naked eye. They love being scientists and enjoy getting into their lab coats and science safety glasses and doing experiments! I am excited to get the proper equipment for my students so they can aspire to be scientists!
