My Project

Kindergarteners love to do hands on activities and they love learning about and discovering the world around them. We're trying to build up our science units and plan to use the materials to make them more hands on, which is what kindergarten should be all about.

We want to conduct our own hands on experiments about forces and motion in the classroom.

By donating to this project, you'll help our children get some cars, balls, ramps and marble runs so that we can make learning about forces and motion more fun!
