Hands-on Science

Help me give my students some great hands-on learning through STEM projects and dissections.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Corkle's classroom raised $978

My Project

As a small rural school with one science teacher for middle school and high school (7 preps), I struggle to have enough time to create as many hands-on projects as I would like to. Coming back from Covid, students' attention span is significantly lower, and hands-on models have proved to improve their understanding of the complex principles of Science. Teaching after COVID has also presented the problem of how to catch students up after losing a year of learning time. With proper models, this will help advance learning to try and close the gap. My students need STEM circulatory system, hydroponic, organ dissection, and solar car kits. They also need calculators.
