Hands-On, Minds-On Science in Action!

My Project

My students thrive when they can learn through hands-on experiences, and this project will provide the essential lab tools they need to engage in real scientific investigations. With graduated cylinders, beakers, scales, and even a microscope, my students will be able to measure liquids, observe microscopic organisms, and perform experiments that bring abstract science concepts to life.

I teach a group of curious, enthusiastic young scientists who love asking questions and exploring the world around them.

These resources will help develop their critical thinking, collaboration, and observation skills—laying the foundation for a lifelong love of science.
