My Project
In our kindergarten classroom, we believe that science is not just about facts—it’s about exploration, curiosity, and compassion. This year, I want to bring the wonder of life science into my students' hands with a set of live science kits that teach them not only about biology, ecosystems, and growth but also about the importance of caring for the world around them.
With your help, our classroom can experience the magic of growing plants, nurturing insects, and observing the life cycles of animals.
These live science kits will allow my students to interact with the natural world in ways that spark curiosity, empathy, and a deeper understanding of life. Together, we can help foster a generation that cares about the world around them and the creatures with whom we share it.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
