Hands-On Science Fun

Help me give my students the materials they need for a hands on science experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Nelson's classroom raised $235

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am working to make science more hands-on and fun by breaking out the safety goggles and lighting up the Bunson Burners. These flasks, yeast, and other materials and equipment will give close to 100 students five different engaging Chemistry experiences.

Students need science to be hands-on and interactive now more than ever.

As a child, Science was the one subject I looked forward to because on lab days it felt like I got to play and discover. Students today spend so much time sitting in front of technology that many of them are losing their wonder and curiosity. Please support my mission to bring excitement back to the classroom.
