My Project

Research has consistently shown that hands-on learning experiences significantly enhance comprehension and retention. By providing students with tangible models of flowers, we offer them the opportunity to engage directly with botanical structures, fostering a deeper understanding of plant anatomy and function.

Experience is the best teacher!

Visual aids are invaluable tools for illustrating complex concepts, especially in science education. Flower models serve as visual representations of intricate botanical structures, enabling students to grasp abstract concepts more easily and effectively. By incorporating tactile elements into the learning process, we accommodate diverse learning styles and preferences. Students can explore the textures, shapes, and sizes of flower parts, enriching their educational experience and promoting inclusive learning environments.

Mrs. Akins will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 25.
