Our young scientists are eager to explore, experiment, and discover the world around them! To bring hands-on science to life in our classroom, we need essential materials like vinegar, cotton balls, sand, dirt, coffee filters, balloons, and iron filings. These may seem like everyday items, but in our science lab, they become tools for learning.
With these supplies, students will conduct exciting experiments like simulating volcanoes, filtering water to learn about environmental science, exploring chemical reactions, understanding air pressure with balloons, and visualizing magnetic fields using iron filings.
Each item supports key lessons in Earth science, physical science, and chemistry while fostering critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration.
By funding this project, you're helping turn our classroom into a space where students don’t just learn about science—they do science. Your support will inspire the next generation of innovators, engineers, and environmental stewards. Thank you for helping our students get their hands dirty—in the name of discovery!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
