My Project

My project focuses on Global Warming because it is a universal issue that all students can relate to no matter a student's economic background, where they come from or their English proficiency. I've requested informational books on global warming because we have very little reading material, I'd like kids to have science kits that show the damaging effects of global warming. Materials such as recycling bins and seed for trees are small ways they can ask others to help. I've requested a solar panel so students can see alternate forms of energy.
