Helping Science Come to Life!

Help me give my students some hands on learning kits to help them explore science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Robino's classroom raised $541

My Students

I teach at a Title I school that is one of the most diverse schools in the area. The students come from hard-working families and are absolutely amazing. My students are active and eager to learn.

My students are inquisitive and love hands-on learning.

My Project

I love teaching science and the kids are always more engaged when they get to perform the labs versus watching me do it all. The great thing about these kits is that they can use them for other subjects or just for fun during indoor recess.

Science is best taught through a hands-on approach.

Students will be able to build, explore force and motion and really understand the usefulness of magnets with the kits I would love to receive. Science class is always fun and exciting when it’s a lab day.
