Help me give my students the tools they need to be scientists! Starting with the clipboards to record our observations, each item will be used to develop students' curiosity and love for science.

My Project
Our amazing second graders are as curious as a cat! This is a special time in their lives. A time for exploration, asking questions, and figuring out the world we live in.
The items in this project will be used to expand their curiosity by providing materials for science experiments that cover topics such as sound and vibrations, habitats, Earth's changes, and animal adaptations.
They will be used to provide opportunities to learn while doing. Each experiment will lead to a deeper understanding of content and require students to "think like a scientist".
Imagine a child posed with the problem of a town that is suffering from erosion. This town needs some help stopping the erosion. The child is given a pan with soil and various materials to design a solution. They then test their solution by pouring water over the soil. Questions like "Did it work?", "Why or why not?" and "How can you make it better?" will be asked and answered.
The student above has completed an activity that allowed them to be an engineer, a conservationist, and a scientist.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
