My students are eager, independent learners who thrive when they can explore and discover with their own hands. I believe learning is most meaningful when it connects to the real world.
Right now, our science shelf needs a boost.
We’re dreaming of tools like magnifying glasses, life cycle models, plant classification cards, and materials that bring science to life. With these resources, students can dig deeper into biology, earth science, and the natural world, all while building critical thinking and observation skills.
Your support will help create authentic, hands-on science experiences that inspire wonder and nurture young scientists!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
