My Project

I am excited to engage my students in a meaninful way! The items in this project will go a long way toward providing educational activities for my biology students.

I want my students to experience science in an interactive, fun, and memorable way.

Most of my students would never imagine themselves as scientists. I strive to change their narrative through activities that allow students to DO science.

With these items, we can care for our classroom guinea pig, grow hydroponic lettuce, and practice suturing in our anatomy classes.

I can't wait to share all of this with my students. Thank you in advance for making this happen.
