Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are always asking to do experiments and dissections to learn about the world around them, but it is hard for my school to get the materials we need. With these supplies, they will be able to explore life sciences and have a better understanding of the ecosystems around them.

The goal of this project is to give my students access to the hands-on learning they want and need!

Many well funded schools are able to give their students the opportunity for multiple labs and dissections each year, but my school isn't able to do so. With this project, I will be able to change that and help close this gap! Additionally, I’ll have science stickers and posters to encourage my students and create a positive learning environment!
