Give Science A Hand

My students need magnets to learn about forces and motions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Taylor's classroom raised $209

This project is fully funded

My Students

Students learn better with hands-on materials and tools. Magnets are needed to teach about forces and how they work. Students can see the effects of forces and discover how hey work in our world.

Students today need more than paper and pencil to learn.

Our fast-paced, techno world is moving to all hands-on. Without materials in classes to teach and experience, our kids will get left behind. My class is in need of supplies to keep kids active while learning.

My Project

Magnets are crucial for teaching forces. Our school's budget can't keep up with the need for science and technology materials in the class. Students will be able to explore and design with magnets. Having sets of magnets will allow more kids to handle while experimenting. They can be used individually or shared in exploration groups.

Students will gain more understanding and confidence with learning through hands on materials.

Magnets are an essential part of technology today. Students need to be presented with numerous and plentiful experiences with technology and science. This will guide them to a successful future in our world.
