My Project

6th graders are bursting with energy, which is why hands-on and engaging activities are critical for their science education. The students at my school are curious, humorous, and eager to succeed in science!

This project will help me support their learning journey by providing concrete and interactive simulations of gravity and inertia.

Your donation will allow our class to get away from boring worksheets and into learning that is meaningful. This project will provide resources that will be used by over 190 students, so this investment is both high quality and far reaching.
