My Project

These science resources will open up my students' imaginations and creativity, encourage problem solving skills, and promote collaboration and teamwork with their peers. Instead of the usual sometimes boring note-taking, my students will be engaged as they challenge themselves with hands on activities using these resources.

My students are funny, intelligent, and inquisitive and they inspire me every day!

They are what makes me want to come to work each day.

By donating to my project, you will help increase my students' understanding of our science standards because they will get to explore through hands on learning. Students retain information much better through hands on learning therefore increasing their academic achievement.
