My Project
To make science come alive in my new 2nd grade classroom, I'm requesting a weather lab, life cycle figurines, and other hands-on materials that will allow students to explore scientific concepts through experiments and real-world applications. From exploring space to changes in the environment and the life cycles of different living organisms, these activities will help my students build a strong foundation in scientific thinking.
These materials stored in the requested cabinet will turn our classroom into a lab of discovery where students ask questions, test ideas, and collaborate with their peers.
With your help, my students can move beyond textbooks and into a world of exciting, hands-on learning.
