My Project

Science is more engaging and fun when students are given the ability to be hands on with it.

Without engaging science, class would be boring!

I am asking for supplies to help me make my science class more engaging. I’m looking for heat lamps and an ice maker to teach thermal energy. Electric kettles for our weather unit and thermal energy unit. Additionally, a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to help me purchase more hands on and engaging lessons. All of these items will aid me in making science more fun for my students!
