My FFA Envirothon team is dedicated to mastering environmental science, but having the right tools makes all the difference. With a common leaves and seeds mount and a LaMotte soil sample tube, my students will have year-round access to key study materials, allowing them to deepen their understanding of deciduous trees and soil analysis without needing to visit specific locations. These resources will provide hands-on learning opportunities that will better prepare them for competition.
The ability to study leaves, seeds, and soil directly in the classroom ensures that my students can consistently build their identification skills and analytical techniques.
By incorporating these tools into our regular study sessions, we can strengthen their knowledge base and confidence, improving their performance at competition. These materials will also provide long-term value, benefiting future Envirothon teams for years to come.
My students are passionate, hardworking, and eager to excel in environmental science. With your support, we can give them the resources they need to compete at their best and develop skills that will serve them beyond the competition. Thank you for helping us take our studies to the next level!
