My Project

The students are full of curiosity and an excitement to learn. Students like hands on activitiies and visuals. These Giant plush science items will give students another way to learn about cells and organisms in a fun way.

While answering questions about animal or plant cells students can toss them around the room to have a visual to look at.

Students learn about plant and animal life cycles and also about plant and animal cells. With these plush visuals students will be able to touch and look at the cells while holding them. Science is full of so many things to learn about that surround us each day. To have these microbes on display will hopefully keep students curious and asking more questions each day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
