If You Want to Help the World Start With Science

Help me give my students fun projects such as VR Science Kits, Solar Rover Kits and more to complete in class. The science projects will allow the students to do in school experiments that will allow them to have fun while learning.

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

I'm learning that resources are needed in inner city schools to keep students engaged. The goal for me is to allow my students more hands-on projects while in school. Hands on projects and experiments make learning fun. There are so many ways to teach science, but I want to keep it fun while learning. The instructional cards and educational books will allow for more teaching tools to be used in the classroom setting. The storage containers are to keep these items organized.

My students already have shown an astonishing interest in doing experiments, and this project will only help enrich their experiences within the world of science.
