My Project

This is my first year departmentalizing and being strictly "the Science teacher". With that being said, I have come across many opportunities where I have wanted to physically provide some hands-on learning tools to students who struggle in learning, as well as those who are visual learners.

My goal in creating this project is to allow students the opportunity to acquire hands-on learning in Science, as often as possible.

With the right tools, students of all learning backgrounds will be able to use the science kits to further their scientific learning journey.
