Help! What is Hands On Science?

My students need a Science Discovery Chest, a Classroom Greenhouse, and the Ready-To-Plant Growing Kit to gain the most during science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gorno's classroom raised $398

This project is fully funded

I am currently a special education teacher for students ranging from kindergarten to second grade.

This is my first year teaching this age group and I am finding that hands-on activities really grab their attention. Unfortunately, I do not have many supplies to use with my students to make learning fun. By receiving these kits my students will be allowed to make learn science facts about plant lives through hands on visuals. Unfortunately, there are not many hands on materials located at my school that allows the students to experiment.

By receiving the Science Discovery Chest, Classroom Greenhouse, and the Ready-to-plant kit will motivate my students. Being able to perform science tasks with younger students help make learning more memorable. Visual stimulus also helps keep the attention of special education students.

By donating to my project you will be providing my students the opportunity to attempt science explorations using visual presentations.
