My Project

Trying to teach 7 year Olds about science concepts can be difficult. I am looking for a way to make learning about science fun and interesting through a set hands on interactive experiments geared specifically towards their appropriate level.

These science kits will help teach concepts such as gravity, laws of motion, life cycles, ecosystems, states of matter and weather.

I fully believe that a child is able to better retain and recall information when it is learned in a fun and productive way. I hope by using these tools I can set the Foundational groundwork for my students and help set them up to succeed in future grades.
