My Project

These interactive and hands-on Science materials will help bring the world of Science alive to my students. Often it is difficult to afford materials to really bring science experiments into the classroom, but with your help I can bring 5th grade science concepts to my students doorsteps. In this way I hope to help my students be able to better learn the key concepts of their 5th grade Science curriculum.

With your help my students will be able to understand more fully the concepts they are learning by being able to see it and interact with it!

These materials will be used in a variety of ways. Some will be taught whole group in an observational way for safety reasons, while others will be sent home for students to experiment outside of zoom times. With this donation I am hoping to make Science more engaging and interactive for my online learners.
