Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our students are filled with curiosity about the world around them and are eager to explore and learn through hands-on experiences.Recently, our students had the opportunity to conduct tests on the health of the East River. This experience sparked their interest in understanding more about the quality of drinking water and the soil on our planet. They are now ready to dive deeper into these subjects by conducting simple science experiments to find answers to their questions.

To support their scientific exploration, these materials will enable our students to test different samples of soils and various brands of water.

By engaging in these experiments, our students will not only enhance their scientific knowledge but also develop critical thinking skills and a deeper appreciation for the environment.

Your contribution will make a significant difference in the educational journey of our students and help them realize the importance of scientific inquiry and environmental awareness. I believe that empowering our students through such projects will inspire a lifelong love for learning and discovery.
